SQL injection vulnerability in Quassel IRC before 0.9.1, when Qt 4.8.5 or later and PostgreSQL 8.2 or later are used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a \ (backslash) in a message.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
