Dear users of TYPO3,

It has been discovered that the extension "Library for Frontend plugins"
(sg_zfelib) is susceptible to SQL Injections.

==== Component Type ====
Third party extension. This extension is not part of the TYPO3 default
installation.

==== Affected Versions ====
Version 1.1.512 and below

==== Vulnerability Type ====
SQL Injection

==== Severity ====
High

==== Problem Description ====
Failing to filter user input the extension is susceptible to SQL
Injections making it possible to get read access to the database.

==== Solution ====
An updated version 1.1.513 is available from the TYPO3 extension manager
and at <http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/sg_zfelib/1.1.513/>.
Users of the extension are advised to update the extension as soon as
possible.

==== Additional Note ====
As the mentioned extension is a library which provides functionality for
other extensions, all extensions that depend on sg_zfelib (version
1.1.512 and below) will inherit the vulnerability of sg_zfelib.
Extensions based on sg_zfelib are for example: sg_newsplus, sg_address,
sg_avmedia, sg_event, sg_genealogy, sg_glossary, sg_newsletter,
sg_prodprom, sg_smallads, sg_userdata, sg_filelist, sg_dictionary.
This is not a complete list. More extensions using sg_zfelib may exist
that are for example not listed on TER.

Follow the recommendations that are given in the TYPO3 Security Cookbook
[1]. If you haven't subscribed to the typo3-announce mailing list [2]

the extension author Stefan Geith for fixing the extension.
