Checks for the remote MySQL version Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment You are running a version of MySQL which is older than (or as old as) version 3.22.30 or 3.23.10 If you have not patched this version, then any attacker who knows a valid username can access your tables without having to enter any valid password. Network Security Threat Level: High Solution : Upgrade to a newer version, or edit the file mysql-xxx/sql/password.c, and search for the 'while(*scrambled)' loop. In front of it, add : 'if(strlen(scrambled) != strlen(to))return 1' Networks Security ID: 975 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2000 Renaud Deraison |
