MDKSA-2006:149: MySQL |
||
|
Check for the version of the MySQL package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:149 (MySQL). MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21 and 5.0 before 5.0.24 permits a local user to access a table through a previously created MERGE table, even after the user's rights are revoked for the original table, which might violate intended security policy (CVE-2006-4031). The update permits the local admin to override MERGE using the '--skip-merge' option when running mysqld. This can be defined under MYSQLD_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/mysqld. If '--skip-merge' is not used, the old behaviour of MERGE tables is still used. MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21, 5.0 before 5.0.25, and 5.1 before 5.1.12, when run on case-sensitive filesystems, permits remote authenticated users to create or access a database when the database name differs only in case from a database for which they have permissions (CVE-2006-4226). Packages have been patched to correct these issues.
