+ MySQL is a fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server. +

+
+ +

+ Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena from the Debian Security Audit + Project discovered that the 'mysqlaccess' script creates temporary + files in world-writeable directories with predictable names. +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary + files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. + When the mysqlaccess script is executed, this would result in the file + being overwritten with the rights of the user running the software, + which could be the root user. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.0.22-r2" +
