FreeBSD : mysql -- erroneous access restrictions applied to table renames (035d17b2-484a-11d9-813c-00065be4b5b6)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18823

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

A Red Hat advisory reports :

Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that 'ALTER TABLE ... RENAME' checked the CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one.

Table access restrictions, on the affected MySQL servers, may accidentally or intentionally be bypassed due to this bug.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
