Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions via the execute statement process on external databases when ExtConnPoolSize is not set to 0 in the configuration. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to encrypted databases or cause a server crash by chaining execute statements or exploiting improper verification of connections in the external connection pool.
Note:
This is exploitable if the ExtConnPoolSize parameter is not set to 0 in the configuration file.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting ExtConnPoolSize to 0 in the firebird.conf configuration file.
