Hello Kurt, Steve, vendors,

a denial of service flaw was found in the way the TraceManager of
Firebird, a SQL relational database management system, performed
preparation of an empty dynamic SQL query. When the trace mode was
enabled, a remote, authenticated database user could use this flaw
to cause the Firebird server to crash with a NULL pointer
dereference.
