What is CVE-2009-2620?

A vulnerability exists in Firebird SQL due to improper handling of op_connect_request messages, which can be exploited by remote attackers to create a denial of service condition. When malformed requests are processed, they can result in an infinite loop or a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a crash of the Firebird SQL daemon. This makes the affected versions more susceptible to potential disruptions initiated by attackers. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate the risk.
