Cody Pierce from TippingPoint DVLabs has discovered a buffer overflow
when processing "connect" requests with an overly large "p_cnct_count"
value.
</p>
</description>

An unauthenticated remote attacker could send a specially crafted
request to a vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firebird.

<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/firebird-2.0.1"</code>
</resolution>
