-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : mod_auth_pgsql SUMMARY : Remote vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass authentication DATE : 2001-09-28 11:26:00 ID : CLA-2001:427 RELEVANT RELEASES : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION "mod_auth_mysql" is an authentication module for apache which authenticates users against a PostgreSQL database. RUS-CERT discovered a vulnerability[1][3] in several Apache authentication modules which use SQL databases to retrieve user information. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to change the query that the module sends to the SQL server and circumvent the authentication process. This vulnerability is *still* present in the 0.9.6 version in a slightly different fashion: Username: '';; select ''bla Password: bla The author has been notified and released version 0.9.9 on Sep 25th to address this problem[2]. Additionally, this is also a bugfix update for this package, which wasn't linked against the PostgreSQL libraries in our previous releases. SOLUTION It is recommended that all mod_auth_pgsql users upgrade the package. All versions released here, even being older, have patches to address this problem. The update for the 0.8 version also contains the snprintf() patches from Erik Rossen. IMPORTANT: it is necessary to restart the Apache web server after updating these packages.
