Package : auth2db

Debian Bug : 521823
It was discovered that auth2db, an IDS logger, log viewer and alert
generator, is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability, when used with
multibyte character encodings.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.5-2+dfsg-1+lenny1.
The oldstable distribution (etch) doesn't contain auth2db.
