Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena found that users may overwrite arbitrary files or read temporary files via a symlink attack on insecurely created temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the identifier CAN-2005-0004 [1] to this problem. Stefano Di Paola found that users may load forbidden dynamic library symbols with dlsym(3) to exploit a problem with user definable functions (UDFs) logic and thereby remotely execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the identifier CAN-2005-0709 [2] to this problem. Stefano Di Paola also determined that incomplete testing of dynamic library pathnames could lead to insecure loading of UDFs from dynamic libraries in arbitrary locations, allowing users to remotely execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the identifier CAN-2005-0710 [3] to this problem. Stefano Di Paola also discovered that creation of temporary tables uses predictable file names, allowing users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the identifier CAN-2005-0711 [4] to this problem. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg 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 (see above). [5][6] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [7], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [8] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [5] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [6]. For the most previous release OpenPKG 2.2, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem. $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/2.2/UPD ftp> get mysql-4.0.21-2.2.2.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig mysql-4.0.21-2.2.2.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild mysql-4.0.21-2.2.2.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/mysql-4.0.21-2.2.2.*.rpm Additionally, we recommend rebuilding and reinstalling all dependent packages (see above) as well [5][6]. ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] http://www.mysql.com/ [1] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0004 [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0709 [3] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0710 [4] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0711 [5] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [6] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [7] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.2/UPD/mysql-4.0.21-2.2.2.src.rpm [8] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.2/UPD/ [9] 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.
