Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : MySQL (MDKSA-2007:139)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25669

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

MySQL 5.x before 5.0.36 allows local users to cause a denial of service (database crash) by performing information_schema table subselects and using ORDER BY to sort a single-row result, which prevents certain structure elements from being initialized and triggers a NULL dereference in the filesort function. This issue does not affect MySQL 5.0.37 in Mandriva Linux 2007.1. (CVE-2007-1420)

The in_decimal::set function in item_cmpfunc.cc in MySQL before 5.0.40, and 5.1 before 5.1.18-beta, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted IF clause that results in a divide-by-zero error and a NULL pointer dereference.
(CVE-2007-2583)

MySQL before 4.1.23, 5.0.x before 5.0.42, and 5.1.x before 5.1.18 does not require the DROP privilege for RENAME TABLE statements, which allows remote authenticated users to rename arbitrary tables.
(CVE-2007-2691)

Updated packages have been patched to prevent the above issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
