Debian DSA-1688-1 : courier-authlib - SQL injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 35225

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Two SQL injection vulnerabilities have been found in courier-authlib, the courier authentification library. The MySQL database interface used insufficient escaping mechanisms when constructing SQL statements, leading to SQL injection vulnerabilities if certain charsets are used (CVE-2008-2380 ). A similar issue affects the PostgreSQL database interface (CVE-2008-2667 ).

Solution

Upgrade the courier-authlib packages.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.58-4+etch2.
