- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : mysql
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file creation
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CAN-2004-0381 CAN-2004-0388
Bugtraq ID : 9976
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in mysql, a common database
system. Two scripts contained in the package don't create temporary
files in a secure fashion. This could allow a local attacker to
overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking the MySQL
server, which is often the root user. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures identifies the following problems:
CAN-2004-0381
The script mysqlbug in MySQL allows local users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
CAN-2004-0388
The script mysqld_multi in MySQL allows local users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.23.49-8.6.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed in
version 4.0.18-6 of mysql-dfsg.
We recommend that you upgrade your mysql, mysql-dfsg and related
packages.
