Description Mark J. Cox 2004-03-30 10:45:06 EST

mysqlbug script has temporary file vulnerability (uses /tmp) which
could allow an attacker to use a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary
files as the person running mysqlbug.

Reported to bugtraq on Mar24th, minor issue to be fixed with next
mysql update.

Mark, you only marked CAN-2004-0381 for this bug, but the vulnerability 
of CAN-2004-0388 is there, too.

Both CANs should be fixed with the patch from attachment #101129 [details]

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2004-06-15 16:26:31 EDT

Sorry Tom, for making that additional unnecessary work (for me and for
you), but it seems so, that there are multiple/different views how a 
bug has to be marked in bugzilla for different distributions &  
versions, but okay...the onliest I would be happy, is to have those 2 
CANs fixed at all 4 currently supported distributions/versions at all 
needed architectures (RHEL 2.1, 3 and FC 1, 2) ;-)

Most of your colleagues assign for each affected distribution version 
a separate bug, so I followed this example - sorry again!

Comment 5 Mark J. Cox 2004-06-16 09:43:21 EDT

Reopening bug 125991; we usually do keep RHEL and FC separate; but not
split up the individual versions of RHEL/FC.

Comment 6 Tom Lane 2004-10-06 18:19:57 EDT

Fix is in mysql-3.23.58-2.2, slated for RHEL3 U4, and also in
3.23.58-11 and beyond for FC3.
