MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL server.
MySQL is vulnerable to an injection flaw in mysql_real_escape() when used with multi-byte characters.
Due to a flaw in the multi-byte character process, an attacker is still able to inject arbitary SQL statements into the MySQL server for execution.
There are a few workarounds available: NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode as a workaround for a bug in mysql_real_escape_string(): SET sql_mode=‘NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES’; SET GLOBAL sql_mode=‘NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES’; and server command line options: --sql-mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES.
All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.1.20"
