Ubuntu Security Notice 671-1
Posted Nov 18, 2008
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-671-1 - It was discovered that MySQL could be made to overwrite existing table files in the data directory. An authenticated user could use the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options to possibly bypass privilege checks. This update alters table creation behavior by disallowing the use of the MySQL data directory in DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options. It was discovered that MySQL did not handle empty bit-string literals properly. An attacker could exploit this problem and cause the MySQL server to crash, leading to a denial of service.
