FBLib (Firebird Pascal Library) repository has moved to Github

April 7, 2013 mariuz Leave a comment

For years the FBLib (Firebird database library for Free Pascal, Delphi and Kylix) has lived in the 3rdParty directory tree of tiOPF. We are cleaning up the tiOPF repository, and so I have now moved the FBLib project out to Github, into its own repository. The repository history is intact. I still need to add a few more patches I have locally, and some Lazarus based support apps.

All future development of FBLib will now happen on Github.

To get a copy of the code:

git clone git://github.com/graemeg/firebird-lib.git

Security Updates for Firebird 2.5.2 and Firebird 2.1.5 are released

March 26, 2013 mariuz Leave a comment

The Firebird Project releases important security updates addressing a remote stack buffer overflow discovered in the Firebird Server during March, 2013.

This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to crash the server and opens a gate for remote code execution, so it’s highly recommended to upgrade your server installations. Security updates are available for Firebird 2.5.2 and Firebird 2.1.5 versions. They don’t include any changes other than the bugfix for the aforementioned buffer overrun.
