This allows remote attackers who have access to the 'User' table to execute arbitrary commands as mysql user. The list of affected packages is as follows: mysql, mysql-client, mysql-shared, mysql-bench, mysql-devel, mysql-Max. In this advisory the MD5 sums for the mysql, mysql-shared and mysql-devel packages are listed. To be sure the update takes effect you have to restart the MySQL server by executing the following command as root: /usr/sbin/rcmysql restart 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. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-8.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-3.23.55-22.i586.rpm 41e8d3781aeedd2e48837293d261f9e2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-shared-3.23.55-22.i586.rpm b75bdea7f484305c62415cd7412151af ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-devel-3.23.55-22.i586.rpm 264920dc6e1def4e26253cc3d82f2fc7 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-3.23.55-22.i586.patch.rpm 82bac86826eb08ccf8c3204a792e0df1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-shared-3.23.55-22.i586.patch.rpm ea14dd33b2e390009513209e71229cd3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mysql-devel-3.23.55-22.i586.patch.rpm b8e64deab45bdd05657a5447b4e279eb source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/src/mysql-3.23.55-22.src.rpm fd33faf5fe7efc9f9c5871db37ea88b4 SuSE-8.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-3.23.52-106.i586.rpm e7488a05d07282bbd8317f834c24f0d4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-shared-3.23.52-106.i586.rpm e6db8d49932368487a334d803572ed4e ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-devel-3.23.52-106.i586.rpm 9c6c4ab2b8a461ca391a2453d05d9b71 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-3.23.52-106.i586.patch.rpm 37960d363c09a1123c25b11d6a753968 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-shared-3.23.52-106.i586.patch.rpm 77d66503d21447bd1dd8339463c7b25b ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/mysql-devel-3.23.52-106.i586.patch.rpm c747e07c307e9619cf04a3e2c8cc369f source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/src/mysql-3.23.52-106.src.rpm 952c96bc22740b252e151c27537e5c1b SuSE-8.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap2/mysql-3.23.48-81.i386.rpm 7126396c99deb931dda869fdc8e5e6ef ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.48-81.i386.rpm 6cfa50d58f7b23201f2056d6097c4161 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.48-81.i386.rpm 23d978a491c8a0a0035142276ae9c806 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap2/mysql-3.23.48-81.i386.patch.rpm 49833c754e880fba15e579ad32d6861c ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.48-81.i386.patch.rpm 3eba782210bf2e3a714616571bea0066 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.48-81.i386.patch.rpm 9d6d58e8da20ea06bfd3207c44925190 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/zq1/mysql-3.23.48-81.src.rpm bc8db10701bdaee4da9776a6dc49fc29 SuSE-7.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-3.23.44-28.i386.rpm f3171ff82e6d3fbf9913cfb58d984602 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.44-28.i386.rpm db2fe45728f6073f15c6440538926828 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.44-28.i386.rpm 278a0338ed3a6ae65c7328f422f7abfc source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/zq1/mysql-3.23.44-28.src.rpm c1076bca4b5a7d750f72811c097e92fa SuSE-7.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/ap3/mysql-3.23.37-62.i386.rpm 2b5af68cb036119322a8a666fa68046b ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.37-62.i386.rpm d1f95967eb77ff7b8761ec27795cb740 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.37-62.i386.rpm e8cd7dda9473259239458b5e008c6924 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/zq1/mysql-3.23.37-62.src.rpm e3c0693bda7d898ffc5bfb8f23478e7e Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-3.23.44-24.sparc.rpm 52a66dfd5f2f330240dab5e59c412ef7 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.44-24.sparc.rpm 6060be5ff51994e0ab73e8afc7ba2f26 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.44-24.sparc.rpm 802c951032a42b1b21f51ab53af502c9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/zq1/mysql-3.23.44-24.src.rpm 350c8fcc5522c08ca9096803cc34dd42 PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-3.23.44-32.ppc.rpm 4dfbca3cbc9e9a3f8f36ab19a7bb4093 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/ap2/mysql-shared-3.23.44-32.ppc.rpm 068cbab05a37e74b9f57abcae7eb6b64 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/ap3/mysql-devel-3.23.44-32.ppc.rpm c897ad4fa5a724c11efabbecfdd929c4 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/zq1/mysql-3.23.44-32.src.rpm aa219acd13b73c45e2b418e8df03a1ee ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - OpenSSL Critical bugs within the ASN.1 parsing routines have been reported recently. We are currently building new packages and will notify you in a separate advisory when the packages are available. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3) 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 <name-of-the-file.rpm> 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 <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> 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. All SuSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-subscribe@suse.com>. suse-security-announce@suse.com - SuSE's announce-only mailing list. Only SuSE's security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-announce-subscribe@suse.com>.
