Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51584
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2001:427
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2001:427.

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:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
