Several 2.1 RC2 kits were damaged on upload to SourceForge. All affected
ones were replaced, but before they’ll get updated on all mirrors,
please make sure that you use the osdn primary server.
Here are direct links to new fixed kits:
Firebird Remove Buffer Overflow Proof of concept was posted on BugTraq
The bug is the one fixed in the next stable releases and is not present in firebird 2.1 rc1& rc2 here is the description:
Integer overflow in Firebird SQL 1.0.3 and earlier, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 2.0.x before 2.0.4, and 2.1.x before 2.1.0 RC1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
The Firebird Project team is happy to announce that download kits for the second (and hopefully, last) V.2.1 release candidate are now available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX Intel 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. You are invited to test it with as much rigour and vigor as you like and report your experiences (good or bad) back to the firebird-devel or the firebird-test list.
As always, please be patient if the files you want haven’t made it out to the mirrors at your first attempt.
I'm pleased to announce the 0.9.4 release of SQLObject.

The question is, is there a MySQL/PostgreSQL equivalent of LIMIT clause in Firebird?
you can see the final vote results , this year there was some good pr campaign from postgres 🙂 and we didn’t voted so much like in previous years
but we took an honorable 3rd place
It’s weird that sqlite is not on the first row it’s used in firefox/google gears … and disabled in php.ini by default
