Firebird 2.5.1 package for Debian Stable named Squeeze

Damyan Ivanov announced :

I have prepared packages from the current version in wheezy
(2.5.1.26351), built for squeeze.

ftp://ftp.modsoftsys.net/public/firebird2.5-backports/

If these improve the situation, then we at least know the bug is fixed
in that version and can start looking for the exact fix, which would
take about 10 iterations (and probably several weeks).

 

[ED if you want to rebuild them for 32bits you can use these instructions ]

Firebird 2.1.2 Changes in Ubuntu Karmic and Debian

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
