Synopsis: Moderate: mysql55-mysql security update Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0186-1 Issue Date: 2014-02-18 CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-5908 CVE-2014-0386 CVE-2014-0393 CVE-2014-0401 CVE-2014-0402 CVE-2014-0412 CVE-2014-0437 CVE-2014-0001 CVE-2013-3839 CVE-2013-5807 CVE-2013-5891 CVE-2014-0420 -- A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the MySQL command line client tool (mysql) processed excessively long version strings. If a user connected to a malicious MySQL server via the mysql client, the server could use this flaw to crash the mysql client or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the mysql client. (CVE-2014-0001) Upstream does not issue any more security advisories for the MySQL 5.0 packages (mysql-5.0.* and related packages). The only trusted way to upgrade from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5 is by using MySQL 5.1 as an intermediate step. This is why the mysql51* Software Collection packages are provided. Note that the MySQL 5.1 packages are not supported and are provided only for the purposes of migrating to MySQL 5.5. You should not use the mysql51* packages on any of your production systems. Specific instructions for this migration are provided by the upstream Deployment Guide. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically. -- SL5 x86_64 mysql55-mysql-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-bench-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-debuginfo-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-libs-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-server-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-test-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm mysql55-mysql-debuginfo-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-devel-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-devel-5.5.36-2.el5.x86_64.rpm i386 mysql55-mysql-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-bench-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-debuginfo-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-libs-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-server-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-test-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm mysql55-mysql-devel-5.5.36-2.el5.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
