critical Nessus Plugin ID 15599

Synopsis

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

Description

A number of problems have been discovered in the MySQL database server :

Jeroen van Wolffelaar discovered an insecure temporary file vulnerability in the mysqlhotcopy script when using the scp method (CVE-2004-0457).

Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that the 'ALTER TABLE ... RENAME' would check the CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table rather than the new one (CVE-2004-0835).

Lukasz Wojtow discovered a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function (CVE-2004-0836).

Dean Ellis discovered that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or different) MERGE tables to change the UNION can cause the server to crash or stall (CVE-2004-0837).

The updated MySQL packages have been patched to protect against these issues.

Update the affected packages.
