3. Problem description:

MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation consisting of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries.

A flaw was found in the way MySQL handled case sensitive database names. A user with the ability to create databases could gain unauthorized access to other databases hosted by the MySQL server. (CVE-2006-4226)

This flaw does not affect the version of MySQL distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 5.

All users of the MySQL server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch which fixes this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
