Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14,, when processing CNCT_specific_data segments during authentication, the server assumes segments arrive in strictly ascending order. If segments arrive out of order, the Array class's grow() method computes a negative size value, causing a SIGSEGV crash. An unauthenticated attacker who knows only the server's IP and port can exploit this to crash the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Remote denial-of-service in Firebird database server versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7, and 3.0.14 allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash the server via malformed authentication packets. Exploitable by sending out-of-order CNCT_specific_data segments during connection setup, triggering a negative size calculation and segmentation fault. …
