Debian DSA-1478-1 : mysql-dfsg-5.0 - buffer overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 30125

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Luigi Auriemma discovered two buffer overflows in YaSSL, an SSL implementation included in the MySQL database package, which could lead to denial of service and possibly the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the mysql-dfsg-5.0 package.

The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain mysql-dfsg-5.0.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.32-7etch5.
