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.
- Ensure all MySQL / MariaDB configuration files are not writeable to the mysql user. This is the default configuration in Red Hat products.
- Ensure that non-administrative database users are not granted FILE privilege. Applications accessing data in MySQL / MariaDB databases, including web application potentially vulnerable to SQL injections, should use database accounts with the lowest privileges required.
- If FILE permission needs to be granted to some non-administrative database users, use secure_file_priv setting to limit where files can be written to or read from.
