    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1909-1 [email protected] 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
