Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50513
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:034 (MySQL)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to MySQL
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:034.

Shaun Colley discovered that two scripts distributed with MySQL, the
'mysqld_multi' and 'mysqlbug' scripts, did not create temporary files
in a secure fashion. An attacker could create symbolic links in /tmp
that could allow for overwriting of files with the privileges of the
user running the scripts.

The scripts have been patched in the updated packages to prevent this
behaviour.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1

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