Descriptions

MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247.

MySQL en versiones anteriores a la v5.1.46 permite a los usuarios locales borrar los datos e índices de ficheros de tablas MyISAM de otros usuarios a través de un ataque de enlace simbólico junto con un comando DROP TABLE, una vulnerabilidad diferente a la CVE-2008-4098 y CVE-2008-7247.

Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues. MySQL has been updated to 5.1.61 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has been updated to MySQL 5.0.95. In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes. Various other issues were also addressed.
