15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 ADOdb is vulnerable to SQL injections if used in conjunction with a
19 PostgreSQL database.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 ADOdb is an abstraction library for PHP creating a common API for a
25 wide range of database backends.
26
27 Affected packages
28 =================
29
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------
33 1 dev-php/adodb < 4.71 >= 4.71
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 Andy Staudacher discovered that ADOdb does not properly sanitize all
39 parameters.
40
41 Impact
42 ======
43
44 By sending specifically crafted requests to an application that uses
45 ADOdb and a PostgreSQL backend, an attacker might exploit the flaw to
46 execute arbitrary SQL queries on the host.
47
48 Workaround
49 ==========
50
51 There is no known workaround at this time.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55
56 All ADOdb users should upgrade to the latest version:
57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/adodb-4.71"
