Background

Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.

Description

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing requests from remote clients.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.
