Severity:	normal
Title:	ADOdb: PostgresSQL command injection
Date:	02/06/2006
Bugs:	#120215
ID:	200602-02

Synopsis

ADOdb is vulnerable to SQL injections if used in conjunction with a PostgreSQL database.

Background

ADOdb is an abstraction library for PHP creating a common API for a wide range of database backends.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
dev-php/adodb	< 4.71	>= 4.71	All supported architectures

Description

Andy Staudacher discovered that ADOdb does not properly sanitize all parameters.

Impact

By sending specifically crafted requests to an application that uses ADOdb and a PostgreSQL backend, an attacker might exploit the flaw to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the host.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All ADOdb users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/adodb-4.71"
