<background>
<p>
The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API that
encapsulates the process of validating account passwords.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
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.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>

version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.6&quot;</code>
