Summary

Buffer overflow in the mysql_real_connect function in MySQL 4.x before 4.0.21, and 3.x before 3.23.49, allows remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DNS response with a large address length (h_length).

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    Note that whether this issue can be exploitable depends on the system
    library responsible for the gethostbyname function. The bug finder,
    Lukasz Wojtow, explaines this with the following words :
    
    In glibc there is a limitation for an IP address to have only 4 bytes
    (obviously), but generally speaking the length of the address comes
    with a response for dns query (i know it sounds funny but read rfc1035
    if you don't believe). This bug can occur on libraries where
    gethostbyname function takes length from dns's response"

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
    
    A number security issues that affect the mysql server have been
    reported :
    
    Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that 'ALTER TABLE ... RENAME' checked the
    CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one. The
    Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
    assigned the name CVE-2004-0835 to this issue.
    
    Lukasz Wojtow discovered a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect
    function. In order to exploit this issue an attacker would need to
    force the use of a malicious DNS server (CVE-2004-0836).
    
    Dean Ellis discovered that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or
    different) MERGE tables to change the UNION could cause the server to
    crash or stall (CVE-2004-0837).
    
    Sergei Golubchik discovered that if a user is granted privileges to a
    database with a name containing an underscore ('_'), the user also
    gains the ability to grant privileges to other databases with similar
    names (CVE-2004-0957).
    
    Additionally, the following minor temporary file vulnerabilities were
    discovered :
    
      - Stan Bubroski and Shaun Colley found a temporary file
        vulnerability in the mysqlbug script (CVE-2004-0381). -
        A temporary file vulnerability was discovered in
        mysqld_multi (CVE-2004-0388). - Jeroen van Wolffelaar
        discovered an temporary file vulnerability in the
        mysqlhotcopy script when using the scp method
        (CVE-2004-0457).

    resolve these issues and also include fixes for a number of small

    descriptionUpdated mysql packages that fix various temporary file security issues, as well as a number of bugs, are now available. MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. This update fixes a number of small bugs, including some potential security problems associated with careless handling of temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2004-0381, CVE-2004-0388, and CVE-2004-0457 to these issues. A number of additional security issues that affect mysql have been corrected in the source package. These include CVE-2004-0835, CVE-2004-0836, CVE-2004-0837, and CVE-2004-0957. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not ship with the mysql-server package and is therefore not affected by these issues. This update also allows 32-bit and 64-bit libraries to be installed concurrently on the same system. All users of mysql should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-22 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities) The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in MySQL: Oleksandr Byelkin found that ALTER TABLE ... RENAME checks CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one (CAN-2004-0835). Another privilege checking bug allowed users to grant rights on a database they had no rights on. Dean Ellis found a defect where multiple threads ALTERing the MERGE tables to change the UNION could cause the server to crash (CAN-2004-0837). Another crash was found in MATCH ... AGAINST() queries with missing closing double quote. Finally, a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function was found by Lukasz Wojtow (CAN-2004-0836). Impact : The privilege checking issues could be used by remote users to bypass their rights on databases. The two crashes issues could be exploited by a remote user to perform a Denial of Service attack on MySQL server. The buffer overrun issue could also be exploited as a Denial of Service attack, and may allow to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the MySQL daemon (typically, the
