Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-12-27 00:15:43 UTC
CVE-2013-6394 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6394):
  Percona XtraBackup before 2.1.6 uses a constant string for the
  initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for local users to defeat
  cryptographic protection mechanisms and conduct plaintext attacks.

2.1.6 has been added to the tree.
Is 2.0.x affected?
Comment 2 Chris Reffett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2013-12-27 01:07:37 UTC
It isn't specifically mentioned in any of the advisories, only 2.1 and 2.2. That said, probably safer to clean the older version unless there's a specific need for the 2.0 version.
Comment 3 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2013-12-27 14:45:01 UTC
I'd like to keep it somewhat longer. 2.0.x is for MySQL 5.4 and 5.5. 2.1.x for 5.5 and 5.6.

Can we clean up 2.0.x or do you still need it for older MySQL?

It's needed for older MySQL. 2.0.x is AFAIK not affected.

Thank you for verifications since 2.0.8 is not affecting. 

Closing - noglsa needed since no stable version.
