=========== |
35 |
|
36 |
The following vulnerabilities were reported: |
37 |
|
38 |
* Percent characters in the username are not properly handled, which |
39 |
introduces a single quote character during variable substitution by |
40 |
mod_sql (CVE-2009-0542). |
41 |
|
42 |
* Some invalid, encoded multibyte characters are not properly handled |
43 |
in mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres when NLS support is enabled |
44 |
(CVE-2009-0543). |

Impact |
47 |
====== |

|
49 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the server, |
50 |
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL statements. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
