Debian DSA-1910-1: mysql-ocaml Critical Escape Function Issue

This is needed, because mysql_real_escape_string() honours the charset of the connection . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1910-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

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. Developers using these bindings are encouraged to adjust their code to use the new function. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-4+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-2+etch1. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-ocaml packages.

Debian DSA-1909-1: Critical Escape Function Issue in PostgreSQL OCaml

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris October 14, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : postgresql-ocaml Vulnerability : missing escape function Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CVE-2009-2943 It was discovered that postgresql-ocaml, OCaml bindings to PostgreSQL's libpq, was missing a function to call PQescapeStringConn(). This is needed, because PQescapeStringConn() honours the charset of the connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte character encodings are used. The added function is called escape_string_conn() and takes the established database connection as a first argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards compatibility. Developers using these bindings are encouraged to adjust their code to use the new function. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.0-3+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.4-2+etch1. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.12.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-ocaml packages. Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You mayuse an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
