CVE-2012-5627

Publication date 1 October 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 5.5.x before 5.5.29, 5.3.x before 5.3.12, and 5.2.x before 5.2.14 does not modify the salt during multiple executions of the change_user command within the same connection which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct brute force password guessing attacks.
