The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200707-01 (Firebird: Buffer overflow)
Cody Pierce from TippingPoint DVLabs has discovered a buffer overflow when processing 'connect' requests with an overly large 'p_cnct_count' value.
Impact :
An unauthenticated remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to a vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firebird.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
