Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.0.27 / 4.1.19 / 5.0.21. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A remote attacker may be able to read portions of memory by sending a specially crafted login packet in which the username does not have a trailing NULL. (CVE-2006-1516)

- A remote attacker may be able to read portions of memory by sending a specially crafted COM_TABLE_DUMP request with an incorrect packet length. (CVE-2006-1517)

- A buffer overflow in the 'open_table()' function could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted COM_TABLE_DUMP packets. (CVE-2006-1518)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 4.0.27 / 4.1.19 / 5.0.21 or later.
