+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-libs/courier-authlib" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.60.6</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.60.6</vulnerable>
+ </package>

+ <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>
