CVE-2008-2079
MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.24, 5.0.x before 5.0.60, 5.1.x before 5.1.24,
and 6.0.x before 6.0.5 allows local users to bypass certain privilege
checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1)
DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are within the
MySQL home data directory, which can point to tables that are created
in the future.
CVE-2008-4097
MySQL 5.0.51a allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by
calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA
DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are associated with
symlinks within pathnames for subdirectories of the MySQL home data
directory, which are followed when tables are created in the future.
NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2008-2079.
CVE-2008-4098
MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege
checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1)
DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally
associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to
tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to
contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory.
NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2008-4097.
