Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-11-14 20:18:43 UTC
From http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/11/14/6 :

a denial of service flaw was found in the way the TraceManager of Firebird,
a SQL relational database management system, performed preparation of an empty
dynamic SQL query. When the trace mode was enabled, a remote, authenticated
database user could use this flaw to cause the Firebird server to crash with
a NULL pointer dereference.

  TraceManager in Firebird 2.5.0 and 2.5.1, when trace is enabled, allows
  remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
  dereference and crash) by preparing an empty dynamic SQL query.
