EnGarde Secure Linux is an enterprise class Linux platform engineered
to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively build a complete
and secure Internet presence while preventing Internet threats.
OVERVIEW
- --------
The MySQL daemon contains a buffer overflow which may be exploited by
any user who has ALTER TABLE permissions on the "mysql" database. Once
exploited, the attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code as the
user under which the MySQL daemon is being run ("mysql" on a default
EnGarde installation).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0780 to this issue.
