>>> Synopsis
>>> ========
>>>
>>> A buffer overflow via environmental variables in Firebird may allow a
>>> local user to manipulate or destroy local databases and trojan the
>>> Firebird binaries.
>>>
>>> Background
>>> ==========
>>>
>>> Firebird is an open source relational database that runs on Linux,
>>> Windows, and various UNIX systems.
>>>
>>> Affected packages
>>> =================
>>>
>>> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
>>> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> 1 dev-db/firebird < 1.5 >= 1.5
>>>
>>> Description
>>> ===========
>>>
>>> A buffer overflow exists in three Firebird binaries (gds_inet_server,
>>> gds_lock_mgr, and gds_drop) that is exploitable by setting a large
>>> value to the INTERBASE environment variable.
>>>
>>> Impact
>>> ======
>>>
>>> An attacker could control program execution, allowing privilege
>>> escalation to the UID of Firebird, full access to Firebird databases,
>>> and trojaning the Firebird binaries. An attacker could use this to
>>> compromise other user or root accounts.
>>>
>>> Workaround
>>> ==========
>>>
>>> There is no known workaround.
>>>
>>> Resolution
>>> ==========
>>>
>>> All users should upgrade to the latest version of Firebird:
>>>
>>> # emerge sync
>>>
>>> # emerge -pv ">=dev-db/firebird-1.5"
>>> # emerge ">=dev-db/firebird-1.5"
