=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-274-2 May 15, 2006 mysql-dfsg vulnerability CVE-2006-0903 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: mysql-server The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 4.0.23-3ubuntu2.4 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 4.0.24-10ubuntu2.3 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: USN-274-1 fixed a logging bypass in the MySQL server. Unfortunately it was determined that the original update was not sufficient to completely fix the vulnerability, thus another update is necessary. We apologize for the inconvenience. For reference, these are the details of the original USN: 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.
