DESCRIPTION
MySQL[1] is a very popular SQL database.
This announcement fixes two vulnerabilities discovered in MySQL:
1.CAN-2004-0957[2]
A local user which had grant privileges for a database whose name
includes a "_" (underscore) caracter could grant privileges to other
databases that have similar names, possibly allowing the user to
conduct unauthorized activities.
2.CAN-2005-0004[3]
A local user could overwrite arbitrary files or read temporary
files via a symlink attack.
SOLUTION
We recommend that all MySQL users upgrade their packages as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade at Conectiva Linux 9, the mysql service
must be restarted manually. In order to do that, run the following
command as root:
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

- after that, execute: apt-get upgrade
