Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.61 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has been updated to MySQL 5.0.95.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Please see the following for more information :

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2010-1626     MySQL allows local users to delete the data and index     files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink     attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command.

  - CVE-2010-1848     MySQL failed to check the table name argument of a     COM_FIELD_LIST command packet for validity and     compliance to acceptable table name standards. This     allows an authenticated user with SELECT privileges on     one table to obtain the field definitions of any table     in all other databases and potentially of other MySQL     instances accessible from the server's file system.

  - CVE-2010-1849     MySQL could be tricked to read packets indefinitely if     it received a packet larger than the maximum size of one     packet. This results in high CPU usage and thus denial     of service conditions.

  - CVE-2010-1850     MySQL was susceptible to a buffer-overflow attack due to     a failure to perform bounds checking on the table name     argument of a COM_FIELD_LIST command packet. By sending     long data for the table name, a buffer is overflown,     which could be exploited by an authenticated user to     inject malicious code.

Update to MySQL 5.1.47, for various fixes described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-47.html including fixes for CVE-2010-1848, CVE-2010-1849, CVE-2010-1850 In F13, also create mysql group explicitly in pre-server script, to ensure correct GID

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way MySQL handled the parameters of the MySQL COM_FIELD_LIST network protocol command (this command is sent when a client uses the MySQL mysql_list_fields() client library function). An authenticated database user could send a request with an excessively long table name to cause a temporary denial of service (mysqld crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the database server. (CVE-2010-1850)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way MySQL handled the parameters of the MySQL COM_FIELD_LIST network protocol command. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to obtain descriptions of the fields of an arbitrary table using a request with a specially crafted table name. (CVE-2010-1848)

A flaw was discovered in the way MySQL handled symbolic links to tables created using the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives in CREATE TABLE statements. An attacker with CREATE and DROP table privileges, and shell access to the database server, could use this flaw to remove data and index files of tables created by other database users using the MyISAM storage engine. (CVE-2010-1626)

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2010-0442 advisory.

    [5.0.77-4.3]
    - Add fixes for CVE-2010-1626, CVE-2010-1848, CVE-2010-1850

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
