+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Firebird does not properly handle certain types of XDR requests,
+ resulting in an integer overflow (CVE-2008-0387). Furthermore, it is
+ vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing usernames
+ (CVE-2008-0467).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted XDR requests or an
+ overly long username to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in
+ the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
+ running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r5"</code>
