Lukasz Wojtow noticed a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the ids CAN-2004-0836 [2] to this problem. Dean Ellis noticed that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or different) MERGE tables to change the UNION can cause the server to crash or stall. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the ids CAN-2004-0837 [3] to this problem. A crash can occur with "MATCH..AGAINST", resulting in a denial of service (MySQL bugs 3870 and 2708). A privilege escalation can occur with "GRANT" (MySQL bug 3933). Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q mysql". If you have the "mysql" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution) and its dependent packages. [4][5] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [4] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [5]. For the previous release OpenPKG 2.1, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/2.1/UPD ftp> get mysql-4.0.20-2.1.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig mysql-4.0.20-2.1.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild mysql-4.0.20-2.1.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/mysql-4.0.20-2.1.1.*.rpm Additionally, it is recommend that you rebuild and reinstall all dependent packages (see above) as well [3][4]. ________________________________________________________________________ References: [1] http://www.mysql.com/ [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0836 [3] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0837 [4] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [5] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [6] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.1/UPD/mysql-4.0.20-2.1.1.src.rpm [7] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.1/UPD/ [8] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkg@xxxxxxxxxxx>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
