U radu programskog paketa mod_auth_mysql, na operacijskim sustavima Fedora 13 i 14, uočen je sigurnosni nedostatak. Riječ je o modulu koji sadrži dodatak za Apache HTTP poslužitelj te omogućuje provedbu autentikacije. Nedostatak proizlazi iz načina na koji mod_auth_mysql obrađuje određene znakovne nizove kodirane s više okteta. Udaljeni napadač može ovaj nedostatak iskoristiti za ubacivanje proizvoljnih SQL naredbi u zahtjev za prijavu na ranjivu aplikaciju. Proizvođač je izdao ispravljene inačice koje otklanjaju spomenuti propust te se svim korisnicima savjetuje njihova instalacija.

FEDORA-2011-0114
2011-01-04 20:16:01
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : mod_auth_mysql
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 3.0.0
Release     : 12.fc13
URL         : http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : Basic authentication for the Apache web server using a MySQL
database
Description :
mod_auth_mysql can be used to limit access to documents served by a
web server by checking data in a MySQL database.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes a security issue in mod_auth_mysql.

A flaw was found in the way mod_auth_mysql escaped certain
multibyte-encoded strings. If mod_auth_mysql was configured to use a multibyte
character set that allowed a backslash ("") as part of the character encodings,
a remote attacker could inject arbitrary SQL commands into a login request.
(CVE-2008-2384)

Note: This flaw only affected non-default installations where
AuthMySQLCharacterSet is configured to use one of the affected multibyte
character sets. Installations that did not use the AuthMySQLCharacterSet
configuration option were not vulnerable to this flaw.
