Package        : teapop 
Vulnerability  : SQL injection 
Problem-Type   : remote 
Debian-specific: no 
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0515 
 
teapop, a POP-3 server, includes modules for authenticating users 
against a PostgreSQL or MySQL database.  These modules do not properly 
escape user-supplied strings before using them in SQL queries.  This 
vulnerability could be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL under the 
privileges of the database user as which teapop has authenticated.

net-mail/teapop-0.3.5 is still in the portage tree. It needs to be package.masked fixed or removed from the tree all together.

I see no updated versions at the teapop homepage at
http://www.toontown.org/teapop/download.php

patches/workarounds welcome.
