Multiple Buffer Overflow problem

If you read the post about the Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities, I think you would be interested in this post from Svein Erling Tysvaer, in Firebird Support list:

Looking at http://risesecurity.org/blog/entry/3/ indicates that some of the issues affects Firebird, but that they’ve been corrected in the latest release:

We contacted both Borland/CodeGear and Firebird developers about these vulnerabilities. After failed attempts to find an email address to report security issues in their products, we tried their bug tracking systems. Borland/CodeGear asked us to send information to their support email address, but we didn’t get any further responses. Firebird developers didn’t answer to our reports either, but they corrected these vulnerabilities in the latest version of Firebird.

More details can be found at http://risesecurity.org/advisory/RISE-2007003/

Seems like Firebird still prioritise fixing errors to a greater extent han InterBase.

From the Firebird Foundation blog:

 Today we received a nice cheque from David Culbertson, of CounterWorks Inc., Colorado, U.S.A., to renew the company’s silver sponsorship for a year. Thank you, CounterWorks!

Let me remind that anyone can contribute with the Foundation (with any value) and help the project to move faster and strongly.
