3. Description:

MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. For all practical purposes, MariaDB is binary-compatible with MySQL.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: mariadb55-mariadb (5.5.53).

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that the MariaDB logging functionality allowed writing to MariaDB configuration files. An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server. (CVE-2016-6662)

* A race condition was found in the way MariaDB performed MyISAM engine table repair. A database user with shell access to the server running mysqld could use this flaw to change permissions of arbitrary files writable by the mysql system user. (CVE-2016-6663)

* This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server. Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2016-3492, CVE-2016-5612, CVE-2016-5616, CVE-2016-5624, CVE-2016-5626, CVE-2016-5629, CVE-2016-8283)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

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

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1375198 - CVE-2016-6662 mysql: general_log can write to configuration files, leading to privilege escalation 1378936 - CVE-2016-6663 mysql: race condition while setting stats during MyISAM table repair 1386554 - CVE-2016-3492 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: Optimizer (CPU October 2016) 1386561 - CVE-2016-5612 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: DML (CPU October 2016) 1386562 - CVE-2016-5616 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: MyISAM (CPU October 2016) 1386566 - CVE-2016-5624 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: DML (CPU October 2016) 1386568 - CVE-2016-5626 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: GIS (CPU October 2016) 1386572 - CVE-2016-5629 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: Federated (CPU October 2016) 1386585 - CVE-2016-8283 mysql: unspecified vulnerability in subcomponent: Server: Types (CPU October 2016)
