Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The
vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to a new upstream
version, 5.5.33, which includes additional changes, such as performance
improvements, bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible
changes. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes for further details:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-32.htmlhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-33.html
In addition this update fixes two issues affecting specifically the
mysql-5.5 Debian package:
A race condition in the post-installation script of the mysql-server-5.5
package creates the configuration file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf with
world-readable permissions before restricting the permissions, which
allows local users to read the file and obtain sensitive information
such as credentials for the debian-sys-maint to perform
administration tasks.
(CVE-2013-2162
)
Matthias Reichl reported that the mysql-5.5 package misses the patches
applied previous in Debian’s mysql-5.1 to drop the database test and
the permissions that allow anonymous access, without a password, from
localhost to the test database and any databases starting with
test_
. This update reintroduces these patches for the mysql-5.5
package.
Existing databases and permissions are not touched. Please refer to the
NEWS file provided with this update for further information.
