| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Firebird, an open-source relational database management system. An authenticated user with CREATE FUNCTION privileges can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the external engine plugin loader. This allows an attacker to use a crafted engine name to load an arbitrary shared library from anywhere on the filesystem. The library's initialization code executes immediately, leading to arbitrary code execution as the server's operating system account.
