    <package name="net-libs/courier-authlib" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <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>
    All Courier Authentication Library users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.6&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
