Package: firebird2
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole

Apparently firebird 1.5.3 fixes a buffer overflow. I saw it at
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/17077. More details at
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/427480

The researcher has a patch for the specific problem he found in 1.5.2, but he
recommends just upgrading to 1.5.3.
