Descriptions

MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, when configured to assign the FILE privilege to users who should not have administrative privileges, allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging the FILE privilege to create files as the MySQL administrator. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that this is only a vulnerability when the administrator does not follow recommendations in the product's installation documentation. NOTE: it could be argued that this should not be included in CVE because it is a configuration issue.

** En disputa ** MySQL v5.5.19 y posiblemente otras versiones, y MariaDB v5.5.28a y posiblemente otros, cuando se configura para asignar el permiso FILE para los usuarios que no deben tener privilegios administrativos, permite a usuarios remotos autenticados obtener privilegios aprovechándose del privilegio FILE para crear los archivos como el administrador de MySQL. NOTA: el vendedor se opone a esta cuestión, afirmando que esto es sólo una vulnerabilidad cuando el administrador no sigue las recomendaciones en la documentación de instalación del producto. NOTA: Se podría argumentar que esto no debería ser incluido en CVE porque es un problema de configuración.

Oracle MySQL on Linux suffers from a vulnerability that allows an attacker to add a new admin user.
