RHSA-2004-611: mysql

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the mysql packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment An updated mysql-server package that fixes various security issues is now available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras channel of Red Hat Network. MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. A number of security issues that affect the mysql-server package have been reported. Although Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not ship with the mysql-server package, the affected package is available from the Red Hat Network Extras channel. Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that "ALTER TABLE ... RENAME" checked the CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0835 to this issue. Lukasz Wojtow discovered a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function. In order to exploit this issue a possible hacker would need to force the use of a malicious DNS server (CVE-2004-0836). Dean Ellis discovered that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or different) MERGE tables to change the UNION could cause the server to crash or stall (CVE-2004-0837). Sergei Golubchik discovered that if a user is granted rights to a database with a name containing an underscore ("_"), the user also gains the ability to grant rights to other databases with similar names (CVE-2004-0957). Users of mysql-server should upgrade to these erratum packages, which correct these issues.
