Luigi Auriemma discovered two buffer overflows in YaSSL, an SSL implementation included in the MySQL database package, which could lead to denial of service and possibly the execution of arbitrary code. The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain mysql-dfsg-5.0. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.32-7etch5. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.51-3. We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-dfsg-5.0 package.
