Debian DLA-945-1 : mysql-connector-java security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 100227

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues were discovered in mysql-connector-java that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the data.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.42-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-connector-java packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libmysql-java package.
