Description:
Primoz Bratanic has reported a vulnerability in GNU Mailutils, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the function "sql_escape_string()" in "auth/sql.c" where the backslash character is not properly escaped. This can be exploited to bypass the SQL injection protection and potentially manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
