Subject Firebird terminates abnormally (1), part 2
Author precari0
Hello!

I finally managed to capture my server's network traffic at the
moment firebird crashes.
Now I'm having a real hard time figuring it out. Maybe you can help
me.
btw, is there any document explaining FB's wire protocol?

Using Ethereal, I captured traffic on ports 3050 and 3051.

Here are my findings so far:
The very last packet before the crash is (acording to Ethereal)
a "free statement (opcode 67)".
Ethereal has an Interbase dissector that shows every packet as Opcode
+ Data.
Can I trust it? I mean, for example, is there an opcode 67 and does
it really mean "free statement"?
Is Opcode really 4 bytes long?
I assume yes.
This packet's Data is:
00 00 00 03 00 00 00 01

What does this data mean?
How can I link it to earlier packets?
Before this packet, there are a lot of "execute", "set
cursor", "fetch" and some other "free statement" and "que event".

I am not really sure where to look at.
Do you have any idea how can I put all this information together?
How could a "free statement" crash the server?

If you'd like to have a look at all this I can post the capture file
and point you to the crash moment.

Thanks in advance,
