CVE-2012-5529
TraceManager in Firebird 2.5.0 and 2.5.1, when trace is enabled, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) by preparing an empty dynamic SQL query.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
