-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory March 24, 2003 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20030324-012 | | | | Package: MySQL, MySQL-client, MySQL-shared | | Summary: root exploit. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, e-commerce, and integrated open source security tools. OVERVIEW - -------- Versions of MySQL prior to 3.23.56 contained a vulnerability which could allow MySQL users to gain root privileges by using "SELECT * INFO OUTFILE" to overwrite a configuration file, causing MySQL to run as root upon its next restart. This update fixes this vulnerability and also upgrades MySQL to version 3.23.56. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0150 to this issue. All users are recommended to upgrade as soon as soon as possible. SOLUTION - -------- Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital Secure Network to update their systems automatically. EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version as outlined in this advisory. Updates may be obtained from: ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ Before upgrading the package, the machine must either: a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or b) have LIDS disabled. To disable LIDS, execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL To install the updated package, execute the command: # rpm -Uvh files You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command: # /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the command: # rpm -Kv files UPDATED PACKAGES - ---------------- These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community Edition.
