Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a temporary file vulnerability in the mysqlaccess script of MySQL that could allow an unprivileged user to let root overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack and could also could unveil the contents of a temporary file which might contain sensitive information. http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/ce109fd4-67f3-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82.html VuXML from FreeBSD gives a nice chart of exactly what versions are affected. Patch available at the lists.mysql.com URL. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. |
