Package : libdbd-firebird-perl
CVE ID : CVE-2015-2788
Debian Bug : 780925

Stefan Roas discovered a way to cause a buffer overflow in DBD-FireBird,
a Perl DBI driver for the Firebird RDBMS, in certain error conditions, due
to the use of the sprintf() function to write to a fixed-size memory buffer.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.91-2+deb7u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.18-2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.18-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-firebird-perl packages.
