MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-22 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities) The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in MySQL: Oleksandr Byelkin found that ALTER TABLE ... RENAME checks CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one (CVE-2004-0835). Another privilege checking bug permited users to grant rights on a database they had no rights on. Dean Ellis found a defect where multiple threads ALTERing the MERGE tables to change the UNION could cause the server to crash (CVE-2004-0837). Another crash was found in MATCH ... AGAINST() queries with missing closing double quote. Finally, a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function was found by Lukasz Wojtow (CVE-2004-0836). Impact The privilege checking issues could be used by remote users to bypass their rights on databases. The two crashes issues could be exploited by a remote user to perform a Denial of Service attack on MySQL server. The buffer overrun issue could also be exploited as a Denial of Service attack, and may permit to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the MySQL daemon (typically, the "mysql" user). Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
