+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Sergei Golubchik reported that MySQL imposes no restrictions on the
+    specification of "DATA DIRECTORY" or "INDEX DIRECTORY" in SQL "CREATE
+    TABLE" statements.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    An authenticated remote attacker could create MyISAM tables, specifying
+    DATA or INDEX directories that contain future table files by other
+    database users, or existing table files in the MySQL data directory,
+    gaining access to those tables.
+    </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-5.0.60-r1"</code>
