Description Andrej Nemec 2016-01-11 14:40:12 UTC

Firebird 2.5.5 can be crashed remotely by authenticated clients by invoking 
gbak via the service manager using invalid command line switch.

This is harmless for the -classic flavour where the server process serves only 
that particular connection, but is at least a DoS for -super and -superclassic 
where the crashed process serves multiple connections.
