Detail
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. |

6421 | MySQL mysqld_multi Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite MySQL contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to arbitrary overwrite files. The problem is that the "mysqld_multi" script creates files with insecure permissions. It is possible that the flaw may allow a malicious user to create a symlink to this file, which could allow arbitrary files to be overwriten on the system, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
