Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60249
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:017 (mysql)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mysql
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:017.

MySQL 5.0.x did not update the DEFINER value of a view when the view
is altered, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges
via a sequence of statements including a CREATE SQL SECURITY DEFINER
VIEW statement and an ALTER VIEW statement (CVE-2007-6303).

The federated engine in MySQL 5.0.x, when performing a certain SHOW
TABLE STATUS query, did not properly handle a response with a small
number of columns, which could allow a remote MySQL server to cause
a denial of service (federated handler crash and daemon crash)
via a response that lacks the minimum required number of columns
(CVE-2007-6304).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: 2008.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
