Package(s):mysql-dfsg CVE #(s):CVE-2007-2583 CVE-2007-2691 CVE-2007-2692 CVE-2007-3782
Created:November 27, 2007 Updated:July 30, 2008
Description: The in_decimal::set function in item_cmpfunc.cc in MySQL before 5.0.40, and 5.1 before 5.1.18-beta, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted IF clause that results in a divide-by-zero error and a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2007-2583)

MySQL before 4.1.23, 5.0.x before 5.0.42, and 5.1.x before 5.1.18 does not require the DROP privilege for RENAME TABLE statements, which allows remote authenticated users to rename arbitrary tables. (CVE-2007-2691)

The mysql_change_db function in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.40 and 5.1.x before 5.1.18 does not restore THD::db_access privileges when returning from SQL SECURITY INVOKER stored routines, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges. (CVE-2007-2692)

MySQL Community Server before 5.0.45 allows remote authenticated users to gain update privileges for a table in another database via a view that refers to this external table. (CVE-2007-3782)
