Descripción: | Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0083.
Several minor security issues were found in MySQL:
MySQL allowed remote authenticated users to create or access a database when the database name differed only in case from a database for which they had permissions. (CVE-2006-4226)
MySQL evaluated arguments in the wrong security context which allowed remote authenticated users to gain privileges through a routine that had been made available using GRANT EXECUTE. (CVE-2006-4227)
MySQL allowed a local user to access a table through a previously created MERGE table, even after the user's privileges were revoked for the original table, which might violate intended security policy. (CVE-2006-4031)
MySQL allowed authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a NULL second argument to the str_to_date function. (CVE-2006-3081)
MySQL allowed local authenticated users to bypass logging mechanisms via SQL queries that contain the NULL character, which were not properly handled by the mysql_real_query function. (CVE-2006-0903)
Users of MySQL should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
