Date: Oct 21 2004
|
Impact:
Modification of system information, Modification of user information, Root access via local system, User access via local system
|

Description:
A vulnerability was reported in MySQL in the 'mysqlbug' component. A local user can overwrite files on the target system.
Shaun Colley reported that when a user runs 'mysqlbug' and then exits the text editor without modifying the bug report, a temporary file ('/tmp/failed-mysql-bugreport') is created in an unsafe manner. A local user can create a symbolic link (symlink) from a critical file on the system to this temporary file. Then, when the error condition is triggered by a target user, the symlinked file will be overwritten with the privileges of the target user.
A local user may be able to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
|
Impact:
A local user can cause files to be overwritten with the privileges of the target user. A local user may be able to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
|
Solution:
Red Hat has released a fix.

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated mysql packages fix minor security issues and bugs
Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:569-01
Issue date: 2004-10-20
Updated on: 2004-10-20
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0381 CAN-2004-0388 CAN-2004-0457
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated mysql packages that fix various temporary file security issues,
as well as a number of bugs, are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
This update fixes a number of small bugs, including some potential
security problems associated with careless handling of temporary files.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the names CAN-2004-0381, CAN-2004-0388, and CAN-2004-0457 to these
issues.
A number of additional security issues that affect mysql have been
corrected in the source package. These include CAN-2004-0835,
CAN-2004-0836, CAN-2004-0837, and CAN-2004-0957. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
3 does not ship with the mysql-server package and is therefore not affected
by these issues.
This update also allows 32-bit and 64-bit libraries to be installed
concurrently on the same system.
All users of mysql should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date
For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/
