  <background>
    <p>
    The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API that
    encapsulates the process of validating account passwords.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    It has been reported that some parameters used in SQL queries are not
    properly sanitized before being processed when using a non-Latin locale
    Postgres database.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted input to an application
    using the library, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL
    commands.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Courier Authentication Library users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.62.2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
