PACKAGE   : MySQL
SUMMARY   : Fixes for several mysql vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION
 MySQL[1] is a very popular SQL database.
 
 This announcement fixes several vulnerabilities discovered in MySQL:
 
 1.CAN-2005-0709[2]
   MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE
 privileges on 'mysql' administrative database to execute arbitrary
 code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls.
 
 2.CAN-2005-0710[3]
   MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE
 privileges on 'mysql' administrative database to bypass library path
 restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to
 modify the mysql.func table, which is processed by the udf_init
 function.
 
 3.CAN-2005-0711[4]
   MySQL used predictable file names when creating temporary tables,
 which allowed local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to
 overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.


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
