CVE-2011-4349: SQL Injection

First published: Fri Nov 25 2011(Updated: )

Multiple SQL injection flaws were found in the way colord, a color daemon that maps color devices to color profiles in the system context, performed SQL queries sanitization in database routines processing color device mappings and devices.
