TYPO3 Sensitive Information Disclosure via escapeStrForLike method
The escapeStrForLike method in TYPO3 4.2.x before 4.2.16, 4.3.x before 4.3.9, and 4.4.x before 4.4.5 does not properly escape input when the MySQL database is set to sql_mode NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via wildcard characters in a LIKE query.
