DSA-1997 mysql-dfsg-5.0 -- several vulnerabilitiesID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:6799 | Date: (C)2010-05-24 (M)2023-12-07 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Domas Mituzas discovered that mysqld does not properly handle errors during execution of certain SELECT statements with subqueries, and does not preserve certain null_value flags during execution of statements that use the GeomFromWKB function, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service via a crafted statement. Sergei Golubchik discovered that MySQL allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL data home directory. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the CertDecoder::GetName function in src/asn.cpp in TaoCrypt in yaSSL before 1.9.9, as used in mysqld, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by establishing an SSL connection and sending an X.509 client certificate with a crafted name field.
