The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2004:597.
MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
A number security issues that affect the mysql server have been reported:
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 an attacker 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 privileges to a
database with a name containing an underscore (_), the user also gains
the ability to grant privileges to other databases with similar names
(CVE-2004-0957).
Additionally, the following minor temporary file vulnerabilities were
discovered:
- - Stan Bubroski and Shaun Colley found a temporary file vulnerability in
the mysqlbug script (CVE-2004-0381).
- - A temporary file vulnerability was discovered in mysqld_multi
(CVE-2004-0388).
- - Jeroen van Wolffelaar discovered an temporary file vulnerability in the
mysqlhotcopy script when using the scp method (CVE-2004-0457).
All users of mysql should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues and also include fixes for a number of small bugs.
