Package: firebird1.5
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for firebird1.5.

CVE-2007-5245[0]:
| Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Firebird LI 1.5.3.4870 and
| 1.5.4.4910, and WI 1.5.3.4870 and 1.5.4.4910, allow remote attackers
| to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long service attach request on TCP
| port 3050 to the SVC_attach function or (2) unspecified vectors
| involving the INET_connect function.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.

This is fixed in the 2.0 package in unstable.
As far as I can see the fixes for these issues are:
http://firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net/firebird/firebird2/src/remote/inet.cpp?r1=1.122&r2=1.123
and
http://firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net/firebird/firebird2/src/jrd/svc.cpp?r1=1.97&r2=1.98

but please check back with upstream, I might have missed something.

For further information:

Kind regards
Nico

With the removal of firebird1.5 from the archive, its security bugs are
no longer a concern.

firebird1.5 is removed as upstream has no intent of providing any kind
of support to it, including security support.
