Detail

MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.24, 5.0.x before 5.0.60, 5.1.x before 5.1.24, and 6.0.x before 6.0.5 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are within the MySQL home data directory, which can point to tables that are created in the future.

Title: DSA-1608-1 mysql-dfsg-5.0 - authorisation bypass
Description: Sergei Golubchik discovered that MySQL, a widely-deployed database server, did not properly validate optional data or index directory paths given in a CREATE TABLE statement, nor would it (under proper conditions) prevent two databases from using the same paths for data or index files. This permits an authenticated user with authorisation to create tables in one database to read, write or delete data from tables subsequently created in other databases, regardless of other GRANT authorisations.
