Descriptions

Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 5.5.x before 5.5.29, 5.3.x before 5.3.12, and 5.2.x before 5.2.14 does not modify the salt during multiple executions of the change_user command within the same connection which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct brute force password guessing attacks.

Oracle MySQL y MariaDB 5.5.x anteriores a 5.5.29, 5.3.x anteriores a 5.3.12, y 5.2.x anteriores a 5.2.14 no modifican el "salt" durante múltiples ejecuciones del comando change_user en una misma conexión, lo cual facilita a usuarios remotamente autenticados ejecutar ataques de adivinación de contraseña por fuerza bruta.
