Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in (1) cd-mapping-db.c and (2) cd-device-db.c in colord before 0.1.15 allow local users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to color devices and (a) device id, (b) property, or (c) profile id.

• 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.
