DSA-707-1 mysql Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL, a popular database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Sergei Golubchik discovered a problem in the access handling for similar named databases. If a user is granted rights to a database with a name containing an underscore ("_"), the user also gains rights to other databases with similar names. Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL permits remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE rights to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls. Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL permits remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE rights to bypass library path restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to modify the mysql.func table. Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL uses predictable file names when creating temporary tables, which permits local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE rights to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.23.49-8.11. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.24-5 of mysql-dfsg and in version 4.1.10a-6 of mysql-dfsg-4.1. We recommend that you upgrade your mysql packages.
