medium Nessus Plugin ID 35279
Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description
MySQL Team reports :Additional corrections were made for the symlink-related privilege problem originally addressed. The original fix did not correctly handle the data directory pathname if it contained symlinked directories in its path, and the check was made only at table-creation time, not at table-opening time later.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
