There are a number of low severity MySQL security updates made in newer upstream versions of MySQL. These affected v1 of Red Hat Application Stack but were fixed by v1.1 as it moved to a newer upstream version. All require an attacker to have authenticated access to the database: CVE-2006-4226 VULNERABLE (mysql, fixed 5.0.25, 5.1.12) MySQL allows remote authenticated users to create or access a database when the database name differs only in case from a database for which they have permissions. CVE-2006-4227 VULNERABLE (mysql, fixed 5.0.25, 5.1.12) MySQL evaluates arguments of suid routines in the security context of the routine's definer instead of the routine's caller, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges through a routine that has been made available using GRANT EXECUTE. CVE-2006-4031 VULNERABLE (mysql, fixed 5.0.24) MySQL allows a local user to access a table through a previously created MERGE table, even after the user's privileges are revoked for the original table, which might violate intended security policy. CVE-2006-3081 VULNERABLE (mysql, fixed 5.0.19) mysqld in MySQL allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a NULL second argument to the str_to_date function. CVE-2006-0903 VULNERABLE (mysql, fixed 5.0.21) MySQL allows local authenticated users to bypass logging mechanisms via SQL queries that contain the NULL character, which are not properly handled by the mysql_real_query function.
