SuSE9 Security Update : MySQL (YOU Patch Number 12175)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 41217

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 9 host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

The database server mySQL was updated to fix two security problems :

 - MySQL allowed local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are within the MySQL home data directory, which can point to tables that are created in the future. (CVE-2008-2079)

 - sql_select.cc in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.32 and 5.1.x before 5.1.14 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an EXPLAIN SELECT FROM on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA table, as originally demonstrated using ORDER BY. (CVE-2006-7232)

Solution

Apply YOU patch number 12175.
