Restricting RDBMS network accessRestricting RDBMS network accessPosted Apr 5, 2013 17:59 UTC (Fri) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630)In reply to: Restricting RDBMS network access by anselm Parent article: A serious PostgreSQL security fix
You need to specify the host by IP address (127.0.0.1); if you just put »localhost« the client library will go for the Unix-domain socket even though it looks as if it is using TCP/IP Not the Java library, surely, which only does TCP sockets? The other problem is that the MySQL server will listen to either all of its host's IP addresses or else one single IP address. Well yes, that is a defect. But if MySQL already supports listening on two sockets (TCP and UNIX-domain) I can't imagine it would be that hard to modify it to support a list of bind addresses.
