Firebird Process_Packet Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Firebird is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected database server. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the server, denying service to legitimate users.

Firebird 2.0.2 is vulnerable; previous versions may also be affected.
