MySQL vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

USN-32-1 fixed a database privilege escalation vulnerability; original
advisory text:

“If a user was granted privileges to a database with a name
containing an underscore (”_“), the user also gained the ability to
grant privileges to other databases with similar names.
(CAN-2004-0957)”

Recently a corner case was discovered where this vulnerability can
still be exploited, so another update is necessary.
