TITLE:
MySQL Create Database Bypass and Privilege Escalation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21506

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21506/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Privilege escalation

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
MySQL 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/8355/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in MySQL, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions
and perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

1) A user, who has been granted access to a certain database but not
privileges to create additional databases, can create a database
where the name differs only by the case of one or more letters from
the database which the user has access to.

Successful exploitation requires that MySQL runs on a system with a
file system supporting case-sensitive file names.

2) An error caused due to arguments to suid routines being calculated
in an incorrect security context can be exploited to execute arbitrary
DML statements with the privileges of the routine's definer via a
stored routine.

Successful exploitation requires that the user has "EXECUTE"
privileges on the stored routine.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities have been fixed in the CVS repository and will
also be fixed in the upcoming 5.0.25 version.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
