+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Viesturs reported that the default configuration for Gentoo's init
+    script ("/etc/conf.d/firebird") sets the "ISC_PASSWORD" environment
+    variable when starting Firebird. It will be used when no password is
+    supplied by a client connecting as the "SYSDBA" user.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker can authenticate as the "SYSDBA" user without
+    providing the credentials, resulting in complete disclosure of all
+    databases except for the user and password database (security2.fdb).
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r6&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    Note: /etc/conf.d is protected by Portage as a configuration directory.
+    Do not forget to use "<i>etc-update</i>" or "<i>dispatch-conf</i>" to
+    overwrite the "firebird" configuration file, and then restart Firebird.
+    </p>
