Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MariaDB, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error when handling an INSERT statement with with "ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" clause on a view can be exploited to cause a crash.

2) An error when destroying an event created with "ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE" clause can be exploited to cause a crash.

3) An error when handling certain SELECT and EXPLAIN statements can be exploited to cause a crash.

4) An error when handling certain queries on DERIVED tables can be exploited to cause a crash.

5) An error when handling a query referencing a missing function in a subquery can be exploited to cause a crash.

6) An error when handling certain illegal queries can be exploited to cause a crash.

7) An error when handling certain ORDER BY clauses can be exploited to cause a crash.

8) An error when handling a DELETE statement with a SELECT subquery on a VIEW can be exploited to cause a crash.

9) An error when handling a RECOVER statement on specially crafted archive table can be exploited to cause a crash.

The vulnerabilities are reported prior to version 5.5.32.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please say explicitly if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2013-09-04 20:39:28 UTC
mariadb-5.5.32 pushed from the overlay to the tree and 5.5.31* dropped.
We'll deal with the stabilization of the 5.5 series on another bug, so I suggest closing this as RESOLVED FIXED.
