Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for firebird2.0 some time ago.

CVE-2009-2620[0]:
| src/remote/server.cpp in fbserver.exe in Firebird SQL 1.5 before
| 1.5.6, 2.0 before 2.0.6, 2.1 before 2.1.3, and 2.5 before 2.5 Beta 2
| allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash)
| via a malformed op_connect_request message that triggers an infinite
| loop or NULL pointer dereference.


Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.

Kind regards
