Fedora alert FEDORA-2011-0100 (mod_auth_mysql)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-0100 2011-01-04 20:15:34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : mod_auth_mysql Product : Fedora 14 Version : 3.0.0 Release : 12.fc14 URL : http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Basic authentication for the Apache web server using a MySQL database Description : mod_auth_mysql can be used to limit access to documents served by a web server by checking data in a MySQL database. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a security issue in mod_auth_mysql. A flaw was found in the way mod_auth_mysql escaped certain multibyte-encoded strings. If mod_auth_mysql was configured to use a multibyte character set that allowed a backslash ("\") as part of the character encodings, a remote attacker could inject arbitrary SQL commands into a login request. (CVE-2008-2384) Note: This flaw only affected non-default installations where AuthMySQLCharacterSet is configured to use one of the affected multibyte character sets. Installations that did not use the AuthMySQLCharacterSet configuration option were not vulnerable to this flaw. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Dec 16 2010 Joe Orton <jorton@redhat.com> - 1:3.0.0-12 - add security fix for CVE-2008-2384 (#663617) * Sat Jun 19 2010 Joe Orton <jorton@redhat.com> - 1:3.0.0-11 - less noise for httpd-mmn BR; package the LICENSE (#605950) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #480238 - CVE-2008-2384 mod_auth_mysql: character encoding SQL injection flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480238 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
