Título:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:455
Resumen:	NOSUMMARY
Descripción:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:455. MySQL is a very popular SQL database which is shipped by many linux distributions. The package shipped with Conectiva Linux 6.0 and older logs by default all queries made to the database to the /var/log/mysql file. This includes user creation, password changes via SQL commands and other queries. Our package incorrectly leaves the permissions of this file as world-readable (0644), thus allowing any user on the system access to potentially sensitive information. We believe this vulnerability[1,4] to be exclusive to our distribution of this package. Additionally, a few other problems[2,3] are also fixed in this update. Specifically: - logrotate now correctly restarts the server and rotates the logs. Previous packages failed to do that and the log file would just keep growing. - logging is now configurable via the /etc/sysconfig/mysql file. The default still has logging enabled, though. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:455 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
