Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-05-21 21:25:39 UTC
CVE-2009-4833 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-4833):
  MySQL Connector/NET before 6.0.4, when using encryption, does not
  verify SSL certificates during connection, which allows remote
  attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle attack with a spoofed SSL
  certificate.

Our in-tree version is extremly dusty. We have 1.0.9, the current one is 6.2.3!
Comment 2 Alistair Bush (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-07-14 11:33:07 UTC
I have bumped mysql-connector-net to 6.2.3 so this can probably be closed.

All ebuilds were ~arch so I wouldn't have thought security would have been involved.
