An SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Courier Authentication Library.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-libs/courier-authlib | * | < 0.62.2 | >= 0.62.2 |
The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API that encapsulates the process of validating account passwords.
It has been reported that some parameters used in SQL queries are not properly sanitized before being processed when using a non-Latin locale Postgres database.
A remote attacker could send specially crafted input to an application using the library, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL commands.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Courier Authentication Library users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.62.2"
An SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Courier Authentication Library.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-libs/courier-authlib | * | < 0.60.6 | >= 0.60.6 |
The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API that encapsulates the process of validating account passwords.
It has been discovered that some input (e.g. the username) passed to the library are not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
A remote attacker could provide specially crafted input to the library, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary SQL commands. NOTE: Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a MySQL database is used for authentication and that a Non-Latin character set is selected.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Courier Authentication Library users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.6"
