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
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-php/adodb < 4.71 >= 4.71
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"
