Debian DLA-567-2 : mysql-5.5 security and regression update
high Nessus Plugin ID 92762
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.Description
Several vulnerabilities have been found in the MySQL Database Server.These vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the recent upstream 5.5.50 version. Please refer to the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for further details :
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-50.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpujul2016-2881720 .html
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.5.50-0+deb7u2.
Regression note: I have wrongly built the previous 5.5.50-0+deb7u1 upload over the jessie-security debian packaging. Although I have not identified any issues on amd64, I have uploaded a new release built on the regular wheezy packaging.
We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-5.5 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
