Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

It was reported [1] that a possible buffer overrun flaw exists in unixODBC's
SQLDriverConnect() function.  A large value for the SAVEFILE parameter in the
connection string could trigger this, resulting in a crash.  SecurityFocus
claims this may also lead to the execution of arbitrary code as the user
running the application using unixODBC [2].  This has been corrected upstream
[3].
