Debian DLA-576-1 : libdbd-mysql-perl security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 92639

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two use-after-free vulnerabilities were discovered in DBD::mysql, a Perl DBI driver for the MySQL database server. A remote attacker can take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial of service against an application using DBD::mysql (application crash), or potentially to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.021-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-mysql-perl packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libdbd-mysql-perl package.
