Bug 185333 – dev-db/mysql-{5.044,community-5.0.45}: security fixes (CVE-2007-378[01])

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hanno Böck 2007-07-14 17:22:40 UTC]

From changelog: 
Security fix: A malformed password packet in the connection protocol could cause the server to crash. Thanks for Dormando for reporting this bug and providing details and a proof of concept. (Bug#28984) 
Security Fix: CREATE TABLE LIKE did not require any privileges on the source table. Now it requires the SELECT privilege. (Bug#25578) 
 In addition, CREATE TABLE LIKE was not isolated from alteration by other connections, which resulted in various errors and incorrect binary log order when trying to execute concurrently a CREATE TABLE LIKE statement and either DDL statements on the source table or DML or DDL statements on the target table. (Bug#23667)

Please try get the package version matrix right. The fixes/issues are in the upstream releases that I corrected the summary to.

We have enterprise 5.0.44 in the tree already, but not community 5.0.45.
I'll try to have the new community version in the tree before the end of the weekend.

[Comment 2 Robin Johnson 2007-07-15 00:32:35 UTC]

community-5.0.45 in CVS now.
I'll post testing instructions for arches in a moment.

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2007-07-15 00:42:47 UTC]

Testing procedures:
FEATURES='userpriv test' USE='ssl cluster extraengine' emerge =mysql-5.0.44
FEATURES='userpriv test' USE='ssl cluster extraengine' emerge =mysql-community-5.0.45

There should be _no_ failures at all this time. All past failures accounted for and handled. I can complete the tests on my machines (ppc64-32ul, x86, amd64).

Target keywords:
mysql: alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86
mysql-community: (none, the package is ~arch only).

[Comment 4 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) 2007-07-15 10:41:22 UTC]

Arches please test and mark stable.

[Comment 5 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2007-07-15 16:47:35 UTC]

alpha/ia64/x86 after a lot of time passing the tests

[Comment 6 Robin Johnson 2007-07-15 22:04:10 UTC]

dercorny asked me about the 5.0.44-r1 version I have in the tree. It runs the identical tests that 5.0.44 does, just moving some more bits into the eclass. It should have the identical result as plain 5.0.44, so feel free to test either.

time for glsa decision. I tend to vote yes because of the server crash.

[Comment 14 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) 2007-07-29 20:48:02 UTC]

I vote YES.

[Comment 15 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2007-07-29 22:18:30 UTC]

Same than the last MySQL security bug, i don't understand why we don't use mysqld_safe to automatically restart mysqld... voting GLSA, since the server is shut down...

[Comment 16 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2007-08-16 22:05:24 UTC]

GLSA 200708-10, sorry for the delay...
