Background ========== MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/mysql < 4.1.20 *>= 4.1.20 >= 5.0.22 dev-db/mysql < 5.0.22 *>= 4.1.20 >= 5.0.22 Description =========== MySQL is vulnerable to an injection flaw in mysql_real_escape() when used with multi-byte characters. Impact ====== Due to a flaw in the multi-byte character process, an attacker is still able to inject arbitary SQL statements into the MySQL server for execution. Workaround ========== There are a few workarounds available: NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode as a workaround for a bug in mysql_real_escape_string(): SET sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; SET GLOBAL sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES'; and server command line options: --sql-mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES. Resolution ========== All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.1.20" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2753 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2753 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200606-13.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
