Debian Security Advisory

DSA-1783-1 mysql-dfsg-5.0 -- multiple vulnerabilities

Date Reported:

29 Apr 2009

Affected Packages:

mysql-dfsg-5.0

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 498362.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-3963, CVE-2008-4456.

More information:

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified affecting MySQL, a relational database server, and its associated interactive client application. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following two problems:

• CVE-2008-3963

  Kay Roepke reported that the MySQL server would not properly handle an empty bit-string literal in an SQL statement, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service (a crash) in mysqld. This issue affects the oldstable distribution (etch), but not the stable distribution (lenny).

• CVE-2008-4456

  Thomas Henlich reported that the MySQL commandline client application did not encode HTML special characters when run in HTML output mode (that is, "mysql --html ..."). This could potentially lead to cross-site scripting or unintended script privilege escalation if the resulting output is viewed in a browser or incorporated into a web site.

For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.32-7etch40.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.51a-24+lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-dfsg-5.0 packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
