| <p> |
| Dormando reported a vulnerability within the handling of password |
| packets in the connection protocol (CVE-2007-3780). Andrei Elkin also |
| found that the "CREATE TABLE LIKE" command didn't require SELECT |
| privileges on the source table (CVE-2007-3781). |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| A remote unauthenticated attacker could use the first vulnerability to |
| make the server crash. The second vulnerability can be used by |
| authenticated users to obtain information on tables they are not |
| normally able to access. |
| </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-5.0.44"</code> |
| </resolution> |
