    <p>
    Dormando reported a vulnerability within the handling of password
    packets in the connection protocol (CVE-2007-3780). Andrei Elkin also
    found that the "CREATE TABLE LIKE" command didn't require SELECT
    privileges on the source table (CVE-2007-3781).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote unauthenticated attacker could use the first vulnerability to
    make the server crash. The second vulnerability can be used by
    authenticated users to obtain information on tables they are not
    normally able to access.
    </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-5.0.44"</code>
  </resolution>
