Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in vpopmail, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to some unspecified input validation errors, which allows manipulation of SQL queries used for POP/IMAP login, SMTP AUTH, and QmailAdmin login by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that a SQL backend is used.

The vulnerabilities reportedly affect version 5.4.5 and prior.

NOTE: A potential boundary error has also been reported, which possibly could be exploited by malicious, adminstrative users to cause a buffer overflow when adding new users.

Solution:
The SQL injection vulnerabilities has been fixed in version 5.4.6.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=85937

The potential buffer overflow vulnerability has been addressed in CVS and will be included in the next release.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor and Werro.
