Mandriva Advisories

Package name MySQL
Date January 22nd, 2001
Advisory ID MDKSA-2001:014
Affected versions 7.2
Synopsis Updated MySQL packages fix insecure viewing of crypted passwords

Problem Description

A security problem exists in all versions of MySQL after 3.23.2 and
prior to 3.23.31. The problem is that the SHOW GRANTS command could
be executed by any user making it possible for anyone with a MySQL
account to get the crypted password from the mysql.user table. The new
3.23.31 version fixes this.

Due to library changes, the previously announced PHP update
(MDKSA-2001:013) has been updated as well so that the php-mysql module
supports this new version of MySQL. It also corrects the upgrade
scripts in the package, however you will still need to verify that PHP
support is enabled in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Apache
configuration file and verify that the installed modules are
uncommented in your /etc/php.ini file.

Verification

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the command :

                rpm --checksig package.rpm
                

You can get the GPG public key of the Mandriva Security Team to verify the GPG signature of each RPM.

If you use MandrivaUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG signature is performed automatically for you.
