<p>
|
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MySQL:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Mattias Jonsson reported that a "RENAME TABLE" command against a
|
|
table with explicit "DATA DIRECTORY" and "INDEX DIRECTORY" options
|
|
would overwrite the file to which the symlink points
|
|
(CVE-2007-5969).</li>
|
|
<li>Martin Friebe discovered that MySQL does not
|
|
update the DEFINER value of a view when the view is altered
|
|
(CVE-2007-6303).</li>
|
|
<li>Philip Stoev discovered that the federated
|
|
engine expects the response of a remote MySQL server to contain a
|
|
minimum number of columns in query replies (CVE-2007-6304).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An authenticated remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability
|
|
to overwrite MySQL system tables and escalate privileges, or use the
|
|
second vulnerability to gain privileges via an "ALTER VIEW" statement.
|
|
Remote federated MySQL servers could cause a Denial of Service in the
|
|
local MySQL server by exploiting the third vulnerability.
|
|
</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 ">=dev-db/mysql-5.0.54"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
