Detail

It was discovered that mahara, an electronic portfolio, weblog, and resume builder is not properly escaping input when generating a unique username based on a remote user name from a single sign-on application. An attacker can use this to compromise the mahara database via crafted user names.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-4+lenny5.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mahara packages.

Id Description
63527 Mahara lib/user.php username Parameter SQL Injection

Mahara contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'lib/user.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'username' parameter. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
