A denial of service flaw was found in the way the TraceManager of
Firebird, performed preparation of an empty dynamic SQL query. When the trace mode was
enabled, a remote, authenticated database user could use this flaw
to cause the Firebird server to crash with a NULL pointer dereference.

The packaging is ready and anybody wanting to build the package can
find the sources in the Git repository[1]. Since Debian is in a freeze
preparing to its next release, I asked the release team for a freeze
exception[2]. It would be great to have the final release in
Debian/wheezy.
