Descriptions

MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.41 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL data home directory, related to incorrect calculation of the mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-2079.

MySQL v5.1.x anteriores a v5.1.41 permite a usuarios locales evitar ciertas comprobaciones de privilegios invocando CREATE TABLE en una tabla MyISAM con los argumentos (1) DATA DIRECTORY o (2) INDEX DIRECTORY modificados que estan originariamente asociados con pathnames (rutas) sin symlinks, y que pueden apuntar a tables creadas en un futuro en el cual un pathname (ruta) es modificado para contener un symlink a un subdirectorio del directorio home de datos de MySQL. Vulnerabilidad relacionada con una cálculo incorrecto del valor mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta al CVE-2008-4098 y CVE-2008-2079.
