Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified affecting MySQL, a relational database server, and its associated interactive client application. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following two problems :

  - CVE-2008-3963     Kay Roepke reported that the MySQL server would not     properly handle an empty bit-string literal in a SQL     statement, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to     cause a denial of service (a crash) in mysqld. This     issue affects the oldstable distribution (etch), but not     the stable distribution (lenny).

  - CVE-2008-4456     Thomas Henlich reported that the MySQL commandline     client application did not encode HTML special     characters when run in HTML output mode (that is, 'mysql
    --html ...'). This could potentially lead to cross-site     scripting or unintended script privilege escalation if     the resulting output is viewed in a browser or     incorporated into a website.

- the COM_CREATE_DB and COM_DROP_DB suffered from format     string vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-2446)

  - the command line client was prone to cross-site     scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2008-4456)

- the COM_CREATE_DB and COM_DROP_DB suffered from format     string vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-2446)

  - the command line client was prone to cross-site     scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2008-4456)

Additionally a problem that sometimes prevented slave hosts from reconnecting to the master server has been fixed.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in mysql :

MySQL 5.0 before 5.0.66, 5.1 before 5.1.26, and 6.0 before 6.0.6 does not properly handle a b'' (b single-quote single-quote) token, aka an empty bit-string literal, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by using this token in a SQL statement (CVE-2008-3963).

MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory.
NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4097 (CVE-2008-4098).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the command-line client in MySQL 5.0.26 through 5.0.45, when the --html option is enabled, allows attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by placing it in a database cell, which might be accessed by this client when composing an HTML document (CVE-2008-4456).

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the dispatch_command function in libmysqld/sql_parse.cc in mysqld in MySQL 4.0.0 through 5.0.83 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via format string specifiers in a database name in a (1) COM_CREATE_DB or (2) COM_DROP_DB request. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third-party information (CVE-2009-2446).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers

This update provides fixes for this vulnerability.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6.x that is prior to 10.6.3.

Mac OS X 10.6.3 contains security fixes for the following products :

  - AFP Server
  - Apache
  - CoreAudio
  - CoreMedia
  - CoreTypes
  - CUPS
  - DesktopServices
  - Disk Images
  - Directory Services
  - Dovecot
  - Event Monitor
  - FreeRADIUS
  - FTP Server
  - iChat Server
  - ImageIO
  - Image RAW
  - Libsystem
  - Mail
  - MySQL
  - OS Services
  - Password Server
  - PHP
  - Podcast Producer
  - Preferences
  - PS Normalizer
  - QuickTime
  - Ruby
  - Server Admin
  - SMB
  - Tomcat
  - Wiki Server
  - X11

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.89 / 5.1.42 / 5.4.2 / 5.5.1 / 6.0.14 and thus does not properly encode angle brackets when 'mysql --html' option is used.  Depending on how the output of the mysql client command is processed, the user may be vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

- the COM_CREATE_DB and COM_DROP_DB suffered from format     string vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-2446)

  - the command line client was prone to cross-site     scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2008-4456)

  - fix slave reconnect

Updated mysql packages that fix various security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.

MySQL did not correctly check directories used as arguments for the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives. Using this flaw, an authenticated attacker could elevate their access privileges to tables created by other database users. Note: This attack does not work on existing tables. An attacker can only elevate their access to another user's tables as the tables are created. As well, the names of these created tables need to be predicted correctly for this attack to succeed. (CVE-2008-2079)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL handles an empty bit-string literal.
A remote, authenticated attacker could crash the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) if they used an empty bit-string literal in a SQL statement.
This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as the MySQL daemon was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2008-3963)

An insufficient HTML entities quoting flaw was found in the mysql command line client's HTML output mode. If an attacker was able to inject arbitrary HTML tags into data stored in a MySQL database, which was later retrieved using the mysql command line client and its HTML output mode, they could perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims viewing the HTML output in a web browser.
(CVE-2008-4456)

Multiple format string flaws were found in the way the MySQL server logs user commands when creating and deleting databases. A remote, authenticated attacker with permissions to CREATE and DROP databases could use these flaws to formulate a specifically-crafted SQL command that would cause a temporary denial of service (open connections to mysqld are terminated). (CVE-2009-2446)

Note: To exploit the CVE-2009-2446 flaws, the general query log (the mysqld '--log' command line option or the 'log' option in '/etc/my.cnf') must be enabled. This logging is not enabled by default.

This update also fixes multiple bugs. Details regarding these bugs can be found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Technical Notes. You can find a link to the Technical Notes in the References section of this errata.

Note: These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.0.77 to incorporate numerous upstream bug fixes. Details of these changes are found in the following MySQL Release Notes:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-77.html

All MySQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.
