Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61314
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:149 (mysql)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mysql
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:149.

Sergei Golubchik found that MySQL did not properly validate optional
data or index directory paths given in a CREATE TABLE statement
as
well it would not, under certain conditions, prevent two databases
from using the same paths for data or index files. This could allow
an authenticated user with appropriate privilege to create tables in
one database to read and manipulate data in tables later created in
other databases, regardless of GRANT privileges (CVE-2008-2079).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2008.1

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