    MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL server.

  <description>
    <p>
    MySQL is vulnerable to an injection flaw in mysql_real_escape() when
    used with multi-byte characters.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Due to a flaw in the multi-byte character process, an attacker is still
    able to inject arbitary SQL statements into the MySQL server for
    execution.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are a few workarounds available: NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode as a
    workaround for a bug in mysql_real_escape_string(): SET
    sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; SET GLOBAL
    sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; and server command line options:
    --sql-mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/mysql-4.1.20&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
