4.67. mysql
Updated mysql packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links associated with each description below.
MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.
Security Fixes
- CVE-2012-5611
- A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the user permission checking code in MySQL. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the mysqld daemon.
- CVE-2012-2749
- A flaw was found in the way MySQL calculated the key length when creating a sort order index for certain queries. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon.
- BZ#814605
- This update also adds a patch for a potential flaw in the MySQL password checking function, which could allow an attacker to log into any MySQL account without knowing the correct password. This problem (CVE-2012-2122) only affected MySQL packages that use a certain compiler and C library optimization. It did not affect the mysql packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The patch is being added as a preventive measure to ensure this problem cannot get exposed in future revisions of the mysql packages.
All MySQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.
