Debian Security Advisory DSA 833-2 - A stack-based buffer overflow in the init_syms function of MySQL, a popular database, has been discovered that allows remote authenticated users who can create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code via a long function_name field. The ability to create user-defined functions is not typically granted to untrusted users.

Package : mysql-dfsg-4.1
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-2558
BugTraq ID : 14509

A stack-based buffer overflow in the init_syms function of MySQL, a
popular database, has been discovered that allows remote authenticated
users who can create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code
via a long function_name field. The ability to create user-defined
functions is not typically granted to untrusted users.

The following vulnerability matrix explains which version of MySQL in
which distribution has this problem fixed:

woody sarge sid
mysql 3.23.49-8.14 n/a n/a
mysql-dfsg n/a 4.0.24-10sarge1 4.0.24-10sarge1
mysql-dfsg-4.1 n/a 4.1.11a-4sarge2 4.1.14-2
mysql-dfsg-5.0 n/a n/a 5.0.11beta-3

This update only covers binary packages for the big endian MIPS
architecture that was mysteriously forgotton in the earlier update.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-dfsg-4.1 packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
