Debian DLA-2245-1 : mysql-connector-java security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 137372

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues were discovered in mysql-connector-java, a Java database (JDBC) driver for MySQL, that allow attackers to update, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors accessible data, unauthorized read access to a subset of the data, and partial denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.49-0+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-connector-java packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libmysql-java package.
