DISPUTED Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installation
functionality in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28, when installed in the top-level C:
directory, might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse
DLL in the “C:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin” directory, which may be added to
the PATH system environment variable by an administrator, as demonstrated
by a Trojan horse wlbsctrl.dll file used by the “IKE and AuthIP IPsec
Keying Modules” system service in Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008
SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows 8 Release Preview. NOTE: CVE disputes this
issue because the unsafe PATH is established only by a separate
administrative action that is not a default part of the MySQL installation.

| jdstrand | mysql-cluster-7.0 not supported per Ubuntu Server team As of 2012/01/09, Oracle no longer supports MySQL 5.0. Unfortunately, because of upstream update and commit policies it is not possible to backport patches from later releases. Ubuntu is regrettably unable to support MySQL 5.0 and users are encouraged to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or later. Windows only |
