The Firebird Project releases important security updates addressing a remote stack buffer overflow discovered in the Firebird Server during March, 2013.
This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to crash the server and opens a gate for remote code execution, so it’s highly recommended to upgrade your server installations. Security updates are available for Firebird 2.5.2 and Firebird 2.1.5 versions. They don’t include any changes other than the bugfix for the aforementioned buffer overrun.
It seems that now the YiiFirebird extension is stable enough (please let me know it is not so) for merge in YiiFramework master repo.
Now, the next step is to create the automated tests for this extension. Volunteers? Ideas?
We need to add a “tests” directory for that purpose in our local repo before committing Yii master repo.
Example: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii/blob/master/tests/framework/db/schema/CPostgresTest.php
