CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : MySQL
SUMMARY   : Fixes for two mysql vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2005-04-20 10:36:00
ID        : CLA-2005:947
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 9, 10

DESCRIPTION
 MySQL[1] is a very popular SQL database.
 
 This announcement fixes two vulnerabilities discovered in MySQL:
 
 1.CAN-2004-0957[2]
   A local user which had grant privileges for a database whose name
 includes a "_" (underscore) caracter could grant privileges to other
 databases that have similar names, possibly allowing the user to
 conduct unauthorized activities.
 
 2.CAN-2005-0004[3]
   A local user could overwrite arbitrary files or read temporary
 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
