Debian 3.0: DSA 469-1 Critical: pam-pgsql Input Sanitization Issue

Primoz Bratanic discovered a bug in libpam-psgl, a PAM module to
authenticate using a PostgreSQL database. The library does not escape
all user-supplied data that are sent to the database. An attacker
could exploit this bug to insert SQL statements.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.2-3woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.2-7.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpam-pgsql package.
