USN-274-1: MySQL vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 5.10
• Ubuntu 5.04
• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

A logging bypass was discovered in the MySQL query parser. A local
attacker could exploit this by inserting NUL characters into query
strings (even into comments), which would cause the query to be logged
incompletely.

This only affects you if you enabled the 'log' parameter in the MySQL
configuration.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10

• mysql-server -

Ubuntu 5.04

• mysql-server -

Ubuntu 4.10

• mysql-server -

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
