Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

mysql-server

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 4.0.23-3ubuntu2.4 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 4.0.24-10ubuntu2.3 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-274-1 fixed a logging bypass in the MySQL server. Unfortunately it was determined that the original update was not sufficient to completely fix the vulnerability, thus another update is necessary. We apologize for the inconvenience.

For reference, these are the details of the original USN:

A logging bypass was discovered in the MySQL query parser. A local
attacker could exploit this by inserting NUL characters into query
strings (even into comments), which would cause the query to be
logged incompletely.

This only affects you if you enabled the 'log' parameter in the
MySQL configuration.

Title: MySQL 5.0.18 and earlier allows local users to bypass logging mechanisms via SQL queries that contain the NULL character, which are not properly handled by the mysql_real_query function. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for the mysql_query function, but the vendor states that since mysql_query expects a null character, this is not an issue for mysql_query.
