mysql - several

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL, a popular
database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

• CAN-2004-0957
  Sergei Golubchik discovered a problem in the access handling for
  similar named databases. If a user is granted privileges to a
  database with a name containing an underscore (“_”), the user also
  gains privileges to other databases with similar names.

• CAN-2005-0709
  Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL allows remote
  authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute
  arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls.

• CAN-2005-0710
  Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL allows remote authenticated
  users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to bypass library path
  restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO
  to modify the mysql.func table.

• CAN-2005-0711
  Stefano Di Paola discovered that MySQL uses predictable file names
  when creating temporary tables, which allows local users with
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via
  a symlink attack.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.23.49-8.11.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.0.24-5 of mysql-dfsg and in version 4.1.10a-6 of
mysql-dfsg-4.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql packages.
