Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : MySQL (MDKSA-2004:034)

low Nessus Plugin ID 14133

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Shaun Colley discovered that two scripts distributed with MySQL, the 'mysqld_multi' and 'mysqlbug' scripts, did not create temporary files in a secure fashion. An attacker could create symbolic links in /tmp that could allow for overwriting of files with the privileges of the user running the scripts.

The scripts have been patched in the updated packages to prevent this behaviour.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
