-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:279 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : ocaml-mysql Date : October 15, 2009 Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ocaml-mysql: It was discovered that mysql-ocaml, OCaml bindings for MySql, was missing a function to call mysql_real_escape_string(). This is needed, because mysql_real_escape_string() honours the charset of the connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte character encodings are used. The added function is called real_escape() and takes the established database connection as a first argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards compatibility (CVE-2009-2942). This update fixes this vulnerability. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2942 http://www.debian.org/security/2009/dsa-1910 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Enterprise Server 5: e61bb4eb829250affa5eff14572279ba mes5/i586/ocaml-mysql-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.i586.rpm 3b1ee1b2c527f9ee28ad821aac600aed mes5/i586/ocaml-mysql-devel-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.i586.rpm 64960c08b893271da2054f9640997ddc mes5/SRPMS/ocaml-mysql-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64: 899111d2a4fe395bd2cef4a743d5636a mes5/x86_64/ocaml-mysql-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.x86_64.rpm 5a73d1dabe89856ca97b50efd89330d5 mes5/x86_64/ocaml-mysql-devel-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.x86_64.rpm 64960c08b893271da2054f9640997ddc mes5/SRPMS/ocaml-mysql-1.0.4-9.1mdvmes5.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
