CVE-2014-9323 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-9323):
  The xdr_status_vector function in Firebird before 2.1.7 and 2.5.x before
  2.5.3 SU1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
  dereference, segmentation fault, and crash) via an op_response action with a
  non-empty status.
