 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:279
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : ocaml-mysql
 Date    : October 15, 2009
 Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ocaml-mysql:
 
 It was discovered that mysql-ocaml, OCaml bindings for MySql,
 was missing a function to call mysql_real_escape_string(). This
 is needed, because mysql_real_escape_string() honours the charset
 of the connection and prevents insufficient escaping, when certain
 multibyte character encodings are used. The added function is called
 real_escape() and takes the established database connection as a first
 argument. The old escape_string() was kept for backwards compatibility
 (CVE-2009-2942).
 
 This update fixes this vulnerability.
