CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : MySQL
SUMMARY : Fixes for several mysql vulnerabilities
DATE : 2005-04-04 13:52:00
ID : CLA-2005:946
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 9, 10

DESCRIPTION
MySQL[1] is a very popular SQL database.
This announcement fixes several vulnerabilities discovered in MySQL:
1.CAN-2005-0709[2]
MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE
privileges on 'mysql' administrative database to execute arbitrary
code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls.
2.CAN-2005-0710[3]
MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE
privileges on 'mysql' administrative database to bypass library path
restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to
modify the mysql.func table, which is processed by the udf_init
function.
3.CAN-2005-0711[4]
MySQL used predictable file names when creating temporary tables,
which allowed local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to
overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
SOLUTION
We recommend that all MySQL users upgrade their packages as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade at Conectiva Linux 9, the mysql service
must be restarted manually. In order to do that, run the following
command as root:
# /sbin/service mysql restart
