Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2010-117           security@pardus.org.tr
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Date: 2010-08-24
  Severity: 3
      Type: Remote
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A security issue has been fixed in MySQL, which  can  be  exploited  by 
malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 


Description
===========

CVE-2010-2008: 

MySQL  before 5.1.48  allows  remote  authenticated  users  with  alter 
database privileges to cause a denial  of  service  (server  crash  and 
database loss) via an ALTER DATABASE command with  a  #mysql50#  string 
followed by a . (dot), .. (dot dot), ../ (dot  dot  slash)  or  similar 
sequence, and an UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME command, which causes MySQL
to move certain directories to the server data directory. 


Affected packages:

  Pardus 2009:
    mysql-server, all before 5.1.48-49-12


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for mysql-server. You can update them  via  Package 
Manager or with a single command from console: 

    pisi up mysql-server
