PACKAGE : MySQL
SUMMARY : Fixes for several mysql vulnerabilities
DATE : 2004-11-18 11:48:00
ID : CLA-2004:892
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 9, 10

DESCRIPTION
MySQL[1] is a very popular SQL database.
This announcement fixes several vulnerabilities discovered in MySQL:
1.CAN-2004-0835
Oleksandr Byelkin noticed[2] that ALTER TABLE ... RENAME checks
CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one.
2.CAN-2004-0836
Lukasz Wojtow noticed[3] a buffer overrun in the
mysql_real_connect() function.
3.CAN-2004-0837
Dean Ellis noticed[4] that multiple threads altering MERGE table
UNIONs can cause the server to crash or stall.
For Conectiva Linux 10, it also fixes a denial of service[5] with
MATCH..AGAINST and a privilege escalation[6] on GRANT ALL ON
`Foo\_Bar`
SOLUTION
We recommend that all MySQL users upgrade their packages as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade at Conectiva Linux 9, the mysql service
must be restarted manually. In order to do that, run the following
command as root:
# /sbin/service mysql restart
