-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1662-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway November 06, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : mysql-dfsg-5.0 Vulnerability : authorization bypass Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-4098 Debian Bug : 480292 A symlink traversal vulnerability was discovered in MySQL, a relational database server. The weakness could permit an attacker having both CREATE TABLE access to a database and the ability to execute shell commands on the database server to bypass MySQL access controls, enabling them to write to tables in databases to which they would not ordinarily have access. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this vulnerability as CVE-2008-4098. Note that a closely aligned issue, identified as CVE-2008-4097, was prevented by the update announced in DSA-1608-1. This new update supercedes that fix and mitigates both potential attack vectors. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.32-7etch8. We recommend that you upgrade your mysql packages. Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration. Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch - ------------------------------- Debian (stable) - --------------- Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
