SA Document Body
Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in MySQL 4.0.x (see below for details)
1. Impact
Multiple security vulnerabilities in the "MySQL" package, an open
source database package bundled with Solaris 10 (see mysqld(1)), may
result in one or more of the following issues:
1. A stack-based buffer overflow in the "init_syms" function in MySQL
4.0 prior to 4.0.25 may allow a remote authenticated users with the
ability to create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code via
a long "function_name" field. For additional information see:
* http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2558
2. The "check_connection" function in sql_parse.cc in MySQL 4.0.x
through 4.0.26 may allow a remote unauthorized users to read portions
of memory via a username without a trailing null byte. This may
result in a buffer over-read. For additional information see:
* http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1516
3. "sql_parse.cc" in MySQL 4.0.x through 4.0.26 may allow a remote
unauthorized users to obtain sensitive information via a
"COM_TABLE_DUMP" request with an incorrect packet length that
includes portions of memory in an error message. For additional
information see:
* http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1517
2. Contributing Factors
These issues can occur in the following :
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 10 without patch 120292-02
x86 Platform
* Solaris 10 without patch 120293-02
Note: Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 are not impacted by these issues.
In order for a system to be vulnerable to the issues mentioned above,
(with the exception of issue number 3), the "MySQL" server daemon
(mysqld(1)) must be running on the system. To determine if the "MySQL"
server daemon is running on the system, the following command can be
executed:
$ pgrep -lf mysqld || echo "System is not affected."
107098 /usr/sfw/sbin/mysqld
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
issues have been exploited.
4. Workaround
There is no workaround for these issues.
5. Resolution
These issues is addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 10 with patch 120292-02 or later
x86 Platform
* Solaris 10 with patch 120293-02 or later
