Package: firebird3.0-server-core
Version: 3.0.1.32609.ds4-13
Severity: grave
Tags: patch upstream security
Justification: user security hole

Forwarded: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5474

Authenticated Firebird users are allowed to declare UDFs (user-defined
functions). The default config allows using all entry points from the standard
UDF library, which is dynamically linked with libc, with its symbols
re-exported, including system().
