Leave a comment

New packages for Ubuntu karmic and debian unstable are released with security and bug fixes
Here is the change log for the firebird2.1 (2.1.2.18118-0.ds1-4) package in Ubuntu Karmic and Debian Unstable and Testing :

* add patch from upstream CVS fixing denial of service (daemon crash)
via a malformed op_connect_request message (CVE-2009-2620)
Closes: #539478. Thanks to Giuseppe Iuculano
* rules: disable parallel MAKE
the targets are now chained so no simultaneous satisfaction of classic and
super build can commence. also, upstream sources aren’t to be made in
parallel so pass -j1
Closes: #538870. Thanks to Bastian Blank

Linux/s390x support for Firebird 2.1.2

Dan Horák wrote on firebird devel list:
I am a Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developer and we are now
porting whole Fedora package collection to the s390x (IBM System z a.k.a
mainframe) architecture. The official sources for Firebird (in version
2.1.2) didn’t support this architecture, so I have prepared a patch that
adds this support. Please let me know what else should I do to get the
support accepted into the official source tree.

the patch was uploaded to
