CVE-2008-2384

Published: 22 January 2009

SQL injection vulnerability in mod_auth_mysql.c in the mod-auth-mysql (aka libapache2-mod-auth-mysql) module for the Apache HTTP Server 2.x, when configured to use a multibyte character set that allows a \ (backslash) as part of the character encoding, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified inputs in a login request.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
Specifying an encoding was introduced by the 012-charset.dpatch
patch in 4.3.9-10. Since we don't support specifying an encoding
mysql won't decode the username and injection is not possible.
