Firebird Relational Database ‘protocol.cpp’ XDR Protocol Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Firebird is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to ensure that integer values aren’t overrun. Attackers may exploit this issue to overflow a buffer and to corrupt process memory.
