MySQL < 4.1.21 / 5.0.25 / 5.1.12 Access Control

low Nessus Plugin ID 17807

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server may allow a remote user access to a database for which he does not have permissions.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.1.21 / 5.0.25 / 5.1.12 and thus reportedly allows a remote user who has access rights on one database to access another database if the names differ only in case.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 4.1.21 / 5.0.25 / 5.1.12 or later.
