URL         : http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : Basic authentication for the Apache web server using a MySQL

Description :

web server by checking data in a MySQL database.

Update Information:

This update fixes a security issue in mod_auth_mysql.

A flaw was found in the way mod_auth_mysql escaped certain
multibyte-encoded strings. If mod_auth_mysql was configured to use a multibyte
 character set that allowed a backslash ("\") as part of the character encodings, a remote attacker could inject arbitrary SQL commands into a login request. (CVE-2008-2384)

Note: This flaw only affected non-default installations where
AuthMySQLCharacterSet is configured to use one of the affected multibyte
 character sets. Installations that did not use the AuthMySQLCharacterSet configuration option were not vulnerable to this flaw.
