Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:279 (ocaml-mysql)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update to ocaml-mysql;announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:279.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update to ocaml-mysql announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:279. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ocaml-mysql: It was discovered that mysql-ocaml, OCaml bindings for MySql, was missing a function to call mysql_real_escape_string(). This is needed, because mysql_real_escape_string() honours the charset of the connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte character encodings are used. The added function is called real_escape() and takes the established database connection as a first argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards compatibility (CVE-2009-2942). This update fixes this vulnerability. Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
