Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 858641.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2017-6369.

More information:

George Noseevich discovered that firebird2.5, a relational database system, did not properly check User-Defined Functions (UDF), thus allowing remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the firebird server.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.2.26540.ds4-1~deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your firebird2.5 packages.
