| <p> |
| MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL server. |
| </p> |

| <description> |
| <p> |
| mu-b discovered a NULL pointer dereference in item_cmpfunc.cc when |
| processing certain types of SQL requests. Sec Consult also discovered |
| another NULL pointer dereference when sorting certain types of queries |
| on the database metadata. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| In both cases, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted SQL |
| request to the server, possibly resulting in a server crash. Note that |
| the attacker needs the ability to execute SELECT queries. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-5.0.38"</code> |
| </resolution> |
