Description

SQL injection vulnerability in the Courier Authentication Library (aka courier-authlib) before 0.60.6 on SUSE openSUSE 10.3 and 11.0, and other platforms, when MySQL and a non-Latin character set are used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the username and unspecified other vectors.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
