  <affected>
    <package name="net-mail/mailutils" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">0.6-r1</unaffected>

  <background>
    <p>
    GNU Mailutils is a collection of mail-related utilities.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    When GNU Mailutils is built with the "mysql" or "postgres" USE
    flag, the sql_escape_string function of the authentication module fails
    to properly escape the "\" character, rendering it vulnerable to a SQL
    command injection.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject
    SQL commands to the underlying database.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All GNU Mailutils users should upgrade to the latest available
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/mailutils-0.6-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
