Notes

https://www.tenable.com/security/research/tra-2017-36
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/issues/5787
Firebird upstream responded to Tenable the issue is not intended to be addressed
in "any current release".
Issue adressed by disabling UDFs in firebird.conf, this is not a source code fix,
and might actually be considered more of just a mitigation.
Steps to reproduce (partly) in: https://lists.debian.org/874lk9wyz5.fsf@curie.anarc.at
