Message-ID: <200503161648.20374.jaervosz@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Jul 17 14:54:05 2005 From: jaervosz at gentoo.org (Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200503-19 ] MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200503-19 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: March 16, 2005 Bugs: #84819 ID: 200503-19 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== MySQL contains several vulnerabilities potentially leading to the overwriting of local files or to the execution of arbitrary code. Background ========== MySQL is a fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/mysql < 4.0.24 >= 4.0.24 Description =========== MySQL fails to properly validate input for authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges (CAN-2005-0709 and CAN-2005-0710). Furthermore MySQL uses predictable filenames when creating temporary files with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE (CAN-2005-0711). Impact ====== At attacker with INSERT and DELETE privileges could exploit this to manipulate the mysql table or accessing libc calls, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running MySQL. An attacker with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.0.24" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0709 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0709 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-0710 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0710 [ 3 ] CAN-2005-0711 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0711 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200503-19.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@...too.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
