Debian DLA-2129-1 : firebird2.5 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 134180

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An issues has been found in firebird2.5, an RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0. As UDFs can be used for a remote authenticated code execution (as user firebird), UDFs have been disabled in the default configuration which will be used for new installations (there is no change for existing configurations, which must be done manually).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.3.26778.ds4-5+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your firebird2.5 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
