Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-13 (MySQL: SQL Injection)

 MySQL is vulnerable to an injection flaw in mysql_real_escape() when used with multi-byte characters.
 Impact :

 Due to a flaw in the multi-byte character process, an attacker is still able to inject arbitary SQL statements into the MySQL server for execution.
 Workaround :

 There are a few workarounds available: NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode as a workaround for a bug in mysql_real_escape_string(): SET sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; SET GLOBAL sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; and server command line options:
 --sql-mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES.

Solution

All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-db/mysql-4.1.20'
