Debian Security Advisory DSA-1909-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
October 14, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : postgresql-ocaml
Vulnerability : missing escape function
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2009-2943


It was discovered that postgresql-ocaml, OCaml bindings to PostgreSQL's
libpq, was missing a function to call PQescapeStringConn(). This is
needed, because PQescapeStringConn() honours the charset of the
connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain multibyte
character encodings are used. The added function is called
escape_string_conn() and takes the established database connection as a
first argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards
compatibility.

Developers using these bindings are encouraged to adjust their code to
use the new function.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.7.0-3+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.4-2+etch1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.12.1-1.


We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql-ocaml packages.


Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
