CVE-2006-0903 - "MySQL 5.0.18 and earlier allows local users to bypass logging mechanisms via SQL queries that contain the NULL character, which are not properly handled by the mysql_real_query function. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for the mysql_query function, but the vendor states that since mysql_query expects a null character, this is not an issue for mysql_query." This bug (apparently) affects mysql in RHL 7.3, RHL 9, FC1, FC2 and FC3. Distro Package ------ -------------------- RHL 7.3 mysql-3.23.58-1.73.9.legacy RHL 9 mysql-3.23.58-1.90.10.legacy FC1 mysql-3.23.58-4.7.legacy FC2 mysql-3.23.58-16.FC2.4.legacy FC3 mysql-3.23.58-16.FC3.1 References: * Mysql Bug # 17667: <http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=17667> * Bugtraq ID 16850: <http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/16850> * Secunia # 19034: <http://secunia.com/advisories/19034> Mandriva has issued patched packages for mysql-4.x.x in their advisory <http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:064>. I am not aware of any patches yet for mysql-3.23.58, though I suspect Red Hat will create some for their RHEL 2.1 & RHEL 3 distros. Red Hat just issued RHSA-2006-0544, <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0544.html>, for RHEL 4. Not sure this announcement is relevant for Legacy, as all distros <= FC3 seem to still be running mysql-3, and this is for mysql-4. Hopefully, RHSA's for RHEL 3 and RHEL 2.1 will shortly follow. "Updated mysql packages that fix multiple security flaws are now available. "This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. "MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation consisting of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries. "A flaw was found in the way the MySQL mysql_real_escape() function escaped strings when operating in a multibyte character encoding. An attacker could provide an application a carefully crafted string containing invalidly-encoded characters which may be improperly escaped, leading to the injection of malicious SQL commands. (CVE-2006-2753) "An information disclosure flaw was found in the way the MySQL server processed malformed usernames. An attacker could view a small portion of server memory by supplying an anonymous login username which was not null terminated. (CVE-2006-1516) "An information disclosure flaw was found in the way the MySQL server executed the COM_TABLE_DUMP command. An authenticated malicious user could send a specially crafted packet to the MySQL server which returned random unallocated memory. (CVE-2006-1517) "A log file obfuscation flaw was found in the way the mysql_real_query() function creates log file entries. An attacker with the the ability to call the mysql_real_query() function against a mysql server can obfuscate the entry the server will write to the log file. However, an attacker needed to have complete control over a server in order to attempt this attack. (CVE-2006-0903) "This update also fixes numerous non-security-related flaws, such as intermittent authentication failures. "All users of mysql are advised to upgrade to these updated packages containing MySQL version 4.1.20, which is not vulnerable to these issues." Fedora Legacy is no longer an active project. Closing. |
