Bug 358611 – <dev-db/unixODBC-2.3.0-r1: possible buffer overrun in SQLDriverConnect() (CVE-2011-1145)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) 2011-03-12 20:33:45 UTC]

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].
