Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2130-01

Posted Oct 31, 2016

Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2130-01 - MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon, mysqld, and many client programs. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: mysql55-mysql. Security Fix: It was discovered that the MySQL logging functionality allowed writing to MySQL configuration files. An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server.
