MySQL 5.1 < 5.1.41 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 42900

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.41 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An incomplete fix was provided in 5.1.24 for CVE-2008-2079, a symlink-related privilege escalation issue. (Bug #39277)

- MySQL clients linked against OpenSSL are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. (Bug #47320)

- The GeomFromWKB() function can be manipulated to cause a denial of service. (Bug #47780)

- Specially crafted SELECT statements containing sub- queries in the WHERE clause can cause the server to crash. (Bug #48291)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL 5.1.41 or later.
