NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firebird4.0 package and not the firebird4.0 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, the ClumpletReader::getClumpletSize() function can overflow the totalLength value when parsing a Wide type clumplet, causing an infinite loop. An authenticated user with INSERT privileges on any table can exploit this via a crafted Batch Parameter Block to cause a denial of service against the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.
