MySQL < 4.0.27 / 4.1.19 / 5.0.21 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 17697

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.0.27 / 4.1.19 / 5.0.21. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A remote attacker may be able to read portions of memory by sending a specially crafted login packet in which the username does not have a trailing NULL. (CVE-2006-1516)

- A remote attacker may be able to read portions of memory by sending a specially crafted COM_TABLE_DUMP request with an incorrect packet length. (CVE-2006-1517)

- A buffer overflow in the 'open_table()' function could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted COM_TABLE_DUMP packets. (CVE-2006-1518)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 4.0.27 / 4.1.19 / 5.0.21 or later.
