Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

An SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Courier
Authentication Library.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API that
encapsulates the process of validating account passwords.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package                   /  Vulnerable  /             Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-libs/courier-authlib      < 0.62.2                  >=3D 0.62.2


Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

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.

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A remote attacker could send specially crafted input to an application
using the library, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL
commands.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All Courier Authentication Library users should upgrade to the latest
version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-libs/courier-authlib-0.62.2=
"
