SQL Escape problem in mythweb

Description

In MythWeb's custom recording schedule page I tried to change a power search I changed on of my listings from "ABC World News" to "ABC('s)? World News". After hitting submit I got the dreaded (for SQL injections) "There is an error in your custom SQL query: check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'World News' at line 1 #1064"

Version information:

MythWeb and MythTV are both from the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories so I assume MythWeb is the same version but I have no proof of that.

achew22@mythtv:~$ mythbackend --version Please include all output in bug reports. MythTV Version : 22594 MythTV Branch : branches/release-0-22-fixes Network Protocol : 50 Library API : 0.22.20091023-1 QT Version : 4.5.2 Options compiled in:

Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to mythweb 2) Go to the custom recording page ( http://127.0.0.1/tv/schedules/custom ) 3) Change the search type to a "Power search" 4) Change the title to "ABC('s)? World News" 5) Change the search phrase to "ABC World News" 6) Hit submit

If you don't like the trac formating for this I put it on codepad http://codepad.org/sNEhEicp

What you needed to put there was

title='ABC\'s World News'

In a power search that field is for handwritten content for a WHERE clause off the program and channel tables. This is one case where you WANT to pass quotes to the database.

It has potential for abuse: you (or a black-hat from the tubes) can write a lovely rule to match every program in the EPG which would probably bring the scheduler to its knees or crash your backend.

However before running the where clause it removes semicolons and secondary queries from the text. It seems pretty toothless to me (IANA SQL guru) - it will strip out stuff like this

;delete from recorded

This ticket looks invalid to me.
