Background ========== GNU Mailutils is a collection of mail-related utilities. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/mailutils < 0.6-r1 >= 0.6-r1 Description =========== When GNU Mailutils is built with the "mysql" or "postgres" USE flag, the sql_escape_string function of the authentication module fails to properly escape the "\" character, rendering it vulnerable to a SQL command injection. Impact ====== A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject SQL commands to the underlying database. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All GNU Mailutils users should upgrade to the latest available version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/mailutils-0.6-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1824 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1824 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200506-02.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
