Slackware 10.2 / current : mysql (SSA:2006-129-02)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21345

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New mysql packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and -current to fix security issues. The MySQL package shipped with Slackware 10.2 may possibly leak sensitive information found in uninitialized memory to authenticated users. The MySQL package previously in Slackware
-current also suffered from these flaws, but an additional overflow could allow arbitrary code execution. Since the vulnerabilities require a valid login and/or access to the database server, the risk is moderate. Slackware does not provide network access to a MySQL database by default.

Solution

Update the affected mysql package.
