TITLE:
MySQL Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39792

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39792/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in MySQL, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions
or potentially compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious people
to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error exists when processing the table name argument of a
COM_FIELD_LIST command packet. This can be exploited to bypass
privilege checks and e.g. read or delete content from a database
table on the system by passing a specially crafted table name
argument to COM_FIELD_LIST.

2) An unspecified error in the processing of packets can be exploited
to cause a locked server state if a packet larger than the maximum
size of one packet is received.

3) A boundary error when processing COM_FIELD_LIST command packets
can be exploited to cause buffer overflow by passing an overly long
table name argument to COM_FIELD_LIST.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.1.47.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities will be fixed in version 5.1.47.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
