TITLE:
Fedora update for mysql

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38390

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38390/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for mysql. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the application checking the
validity of a local path by using a requested table name without
extension. This can be exploited to bypass table access restrictions
in CREATE TABLE statements via symlink attacks.

This is related to:
SA30134

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update mysql").

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by Ingo Strüwing in a MySQL bug report.
