SUSE Security Announcement: MySQL vulnerabilities (SUSE-SA:2005:019)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: mysql Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2005:019 Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 16:00:00 +0000 Affected products: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vulnerability Type: remote code execution Severity (1-10): 6 SUSE default package: no Cross References: CAN-2005-0709 CAN-2005-0710 CAN-2005-0711 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: security problems in mysql problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report (after Easter). 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion MySQL is an Open Source database server, commonly used together with web services provided by PHP scripts or similar. This security update fixes a broken mysqlhotcopy script as well as several security related bugs: - CAN-2005-0709: MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls, as demonstrated by using strcat, on_exit, and exit. - CAN-2005-0710: MySQL allowed remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to bypass library path restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to modify the mysql.func table, which is processed by the udf_init function. - CAN-2005-0711: MySQL used predictable file names when creating temporary tables, which allows local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. The first two vulnerabilities can be exploited by an attacker using SQL inject attack vectors into a flawed PHP application for instance. 2) solution/workaround None. Please install the updated packages. 3) special instructions and notes Please restart the mysql database server update the update by running as root: /sbin/rcmysql try-restart 4) package location and checksums Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply the update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/mysql-4.0.21-4.4.i586.rpm 9060e74c421f30d85d24d9029c6779b3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/mysql-Max-4.0.21-4.4.i586.rpm 66f6252369c5297629a3643d169776cf SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/mysql-4.0.18-32.13.i586.rpm a485a73bb70f87a8921b5a12c4b27658 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/mysql-Max-4.0.18-32.13.i586.rpm 0ab12a132ed5abe038457a538acf4ac3 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/src/mysql-4.0.18-32.13.src.rpm 63d0ad89fb1d031409098f981d92a011 SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/mysql-4.0.15-71.i586.rpm a24632927f128f1325614629333bddbc ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/mysql-Max-4.0.15-71.i586.rpm c054fffbcbd661408573f037935a69d0 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/src/mysql-4.0.15-71.src.rpm 1a4d0af904c7a797f001c093c1cbc2f1 SUSE Linux 8.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-3.23.55-32.i586.rpm 4af88dde3c487b0c7fcf22cb49d02b07 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-Max-3.23.55-32.i586.rpm e3a53abf26170957f532ea7ac25cdcd7 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/src/mysql-3.23.55-32.src.rpm a50b1b6df881d203ec215b31bc73d698 x86-64 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/mysql-4.0.21-4.4.x86_64.rpm 6656f6ed35d92127ce298134a0624867 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/mysql-Max-4.0.21-4.4.x86_64.rpm 79e4561d475e7bb2303f4ff41f553bb9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/src/mysql-4.0.21-4.4.src.rpm 80b0820c075876a447a31952a67e6a5c SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/mysql-4.0.18-32.13.x86_64.rpm c308aac4a2c273f983aa0a57722930b3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/mysql-Max-4.0.18-32.13.x86_64.rpm d895c752111c215161e06d0bf88abf20 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/src/mysql-4.0.18-32.13.src.rpm c5902748d9708ec5f4a76028e96de91a SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/mysql-4.0.15-71.x86_64.rpm bfadabeab279bd0dccdad2cc04561e86 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/mysql-Max-4.0.15-71.x86_64.rpm 485cc2aab05494fa7d8137bdd5ded701 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/src/mysql-4.0.15-71.src.rpm ac5d1d6e78cbfed6307721490cf1c708 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report (after Easter). ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing the package. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or rpm package: 1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement. 2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package. 1) execute the command md5sum after you downloaded the file from a SUSE ftp server or its mirrors. Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package. We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the email message containing the announcement to be modified so that the signature does not match after transport through the mailing list software. Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all md5 sums for the files are useless. 2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an rpm package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, where is the filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed rpm package file. Prerequisites: a) gpg is installed b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the signature verification (usually root). You can import the key that is used by SUSE in rpm packages for SUSE Linux by saving this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and running the command (do "su -" to be root): gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import SUSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de . - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security@suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion.
