[***** Start Debian Security Advisory DSA-1169-1 *****] Debian Security Advisory DSA-1169-1 mysql-dfsg-4.1 -- several vulnerabilities Date Reported: 05 Sep 2006 Affected Packages: mysql-dfsg-4.1 Vulnerable: Yes Security database references: In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 19559. In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2006-4226, CVE-2006-4380. More information: Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2006-4226 Michal Prokopiuk discovered that remote authenticated users are permitted to create and access a database if the lowercase spelling is the same as one they have been granted access to. CVE-2006-4380 Beat Vontobel discovered that certain queries replicated to a slave could crash the client and thus terminate the replication. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.11a-4sarge7. Version 4.0 is not affected by these problems. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.24-3. The replication problem only exists in version 4.1. We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-server-4.1 package. Fixed in: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge) Source: http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/m/mysql-dfsg-4.1/mysql-dfsg-4.1_ 4.1.11a-4sarge7.dsc
