+ <title>MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ MySQL contains several vulnerabilities potentially leading to the
+ overwriting of local files or to the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">mysql</product>
+ <announced>2005-03-16</announced>
+ <revised count="02">2005-03-16</revised>
+ <bug>84819</bug>
+ <access>remote and local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-db/mysql" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">4.0.24</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">4.0.24</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ MySQL is a fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ MySQL fails to properly validate input for authenticated users with
+ INSERT and DELETE privileges (CAN-2005-0709 and CAN-2005-0710).
+ Furthermore MySQL uses predictable filenames when creating temporary
+ files with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE (CAN-2005-0711).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker with INSERT and DELETE privileges could exploit this to
+ manipulate the mysql table or accessing libc calls, potentially leading
+ to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
+ running MySQL. An attacker with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges could
+ exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/mysql-4.0.24"</code>
