Bug 597556 – <dev-python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.4: Remote security vulnerability (CPUOCT2016) (CVE-2016-5598)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2016-10-19 16:31:07 UTC]

Oracle MySQL Connector is prone to a remote security vulnerability.

A remote user can exploit a flaw in the Connector/Python component to partially access data, partially modify data, and partially deny service.

This vulnerability affects the following supported versions:
2.1.3 and earlier, 2.0.4 and earlier.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

[Comment 2 Mike Gilbert 2016-11-19 18:06:07 UTC]

I added mysql-connector-python-2.1.4 to the gentoo repo, and removed all older versions.

This package did not have any stable versions, so no need to stabilize anything here.

Thanks!
