Debian DLA-879-1 : firebird2.5 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99045

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

George Noseevich discovered that firebird2.5, a relational database system, did not properly check User-Defined Functions (UDF), thus allowing remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the firebird server.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.2.26540.ds4-1~deb7u3.

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.
