DSA-1071-1 mysql Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL, a popular SQL database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: Improper handling of SQL queries containing the NULL character permits local users to bypass logging mechanisms. Usernames without a trailing null byte permit remote attackers to read portions of memory. A request with an incorrect packet length permits remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. Specially crafted request packets with invalid length values permit the execution of arbitrary code. The following vulnerability matrix shows which version of MySQL in which distribution has this problem fixed: We recommend that you upgrade your mysql packages.
