Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.243

Posted Dec 11, 2007

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A vulnerability in MySQL prior to 5.0.45 did not require privileges such as SELECT for the source table in a CREATE TABLE LIKE statement, allowing remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information such as the table structure. A vulnerability in the InnoDB engine in MySQL allowed remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (database crash) via certain CONTAINS operations on an indexed column, which triggered an assertion error. Using RENAME TABLE against a table with explicit DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options could be used to overwrite system table information by replacing the file to which a symlink pointed to.
