MySQL: denial of service

Package(s):mysql CVE #(s):CVE-2006-4380 CVE-2006-4389
Created:September 1, 2006 Updated:September 6, 2006
Description: MySQL before 4.1.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service (persistent replication slave crash) via a query with multiupdate and subselects. (CVE-2006-4380)

There is a bug in the MySQL-Max (and MySQL) init script where the script was not waiting for the mysqld daemon to fully stop. This impacted the restart behavior during updates, as well as scripted setups that temporarily stopped the server to backup the database files.

Alerts:
Debian DSA-1169-1 2006-09-05
Mandriva MDKSA-2006:158 2006-08-31
