MySQL < 4.0.25 / 4.1.13 / 5.0.7 Multiple Vulnerabilies

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19416

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the installation of MySQL on the remote host is potentially affected by two flaws :

- A buffer overflow can be triggered when copying the name of a user-defined function into a stack-based buffer. With sufficient access to create a user-defined function, an attacker may be able to exploit this and execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected database server process. (CVE-2005-2558)

- The mysql_create_function is not fully protected against directory traversal attacks. On Windows, arbitrary files can be included by using backslash characters. (CVE-2005-2573)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL 4.0.25 / 4.1.13 / 5.0.7 or later.
