Detail

Multiple buffer overflows in yaSSL, which is used in MySQL, allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-0226) or cause a denial of service via a special Hello packet (CVE-2008-0227).

Sergei Golubchik found that MySQL did not properly validate optional data or index directory paths given in a CREATE TABLE statement; as well it would not, under certain conditions, prevent two databases from using the same paths for data or index files. This could allow an authenticated user with appropriate privilege to create tables in one database to read and manipulate data in tables later created in other databases, regardless of GRANT privileges (CVE-2008-2079).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Title: 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.

Id Description
44937 MySQL MyISAM Table CREATE TABLE Privilege Check Bypass

41935 yaSSL hash.cpp HASHwithTransform::Update Function Remote Overflow

yaSSL contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered by an invalid Hello packet which is handled by the HASHwithTransform::Update function, and will result in loss of availability for the service.
41197 yaSSL hash.cpp HASHwithTransform::Update Function Hello Packet Overflow DoS

41196 yaSSL yassl_imp.cpp input_buffer& operator>> Remote Overflow

41195 yaSSL handshake.cpp ProcessOldClientHello Function Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in yaSSL. The ProcessOldClientHello function fails to validate Hello packets resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
