Summary

MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4097.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Symlink Attack
    An attacker positions a symbolic link in such a manner that the targeted user or application accesses the link's endpoint, assuming that it is accessing a file with the link's name. The endpoint file may be either output or input. If the file is output, the result is that the endpoint is modified, instead of a file at the intended location. Modifications to the endpoint file may include appending, overwriting, corrupting, changing permissions, or other modifications. In some variants of this attack the attacker may be able to control the change to a file while in other cases they cannot. The former is especially damaging since the attacker may be able to grant themselves increased privileges or insert false information, but the latter can also be damaging as it can expose sensitive information or corrupt or destroy vital system or application files. Alternatively, the endpoint file may serve as input to the targeted application. This can be used to feed malformed input into the target or to cause the target to process different information, possibly allowing the attacker to control the actions of the target or to cause the target to expose information to the attacker. Moreover, the actions taken on the endpoint file are undertaken with the permissions of the targeted user or application, which may exceed the permissions that the attacker would normally have.
  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Manipulating Input to File System Calls
    An attacker manipulates inputs to the target software which the target software passes to file system calls in the OS. The goal is to gain access to, and perhaps modify, areas of the file system that the target software did not intend to be accessible.

    descriptionIt was discovered that MySQL could be made to overwrite existing table files in the data directory. An authenticated user could use the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options to possibly bypass privilege checks. This update alters table creation behaviour by disallowing the use of the MySQL data directory in DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10. (CVE-2008-4098) It was discovered that MySQL contained a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the command-line client when the --html option is enabled. An attacker could place arbitrary web script or html in a database cell, which would then get placed in the html document output by the command-line tool. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 8.10 and 9.04. (CVE-2008-4456) It was discovered that MySQL could be made to overwrite existing table files in the data directory. An authenticated user could use symlinks combined with the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options to possibly bypass privilege checks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 9.10. (CVE-2008-7247) It was discovered that MySQL contained multiple format string flaws when logging database creation and deletion. An authenticated user could use specially crafted database names to make MySQL crash, causing a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS, 8.10 and 9.04. (CVE-2009-2446) It was discovered that MySQL incorrectly handled errors when performing certain SELECT statements, and did not preserve correct flags when performing statements that use the GeomFromWKB function. An authenticated user could exploit this to make MySQL crash, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2009-4019) It was discovered that MySQL incorrectly checked symlinks when using the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options. A local user could use symlinks to create tables that pointed to tables known to be created at a later time, bypassing access restrictions. (CVE-2009-4030) It was discovered that MySQL contained a buffer overflow when parsing ssl certificates. A remote attacker could send crafted requests and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and the default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. In the default installation, attackers would also be isolated by the AppArmor MySQL profile. (CVE-2009-4484).

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionUpdated mysql packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries. It was discovered that the MySQL client ignored certain SSL certificate verification errors when connecting to servers. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to trick MySQL clients into connecting to a spoofed MySQL server. (CVE-2009-4028) Note: This fix may uncover previously hidden SSL configuration issues, such as incorrect CA certificates being used by clients or expired server certificates. This update should be carefully tested in deployments where SSL connections are used. A flaw was found in the way MySQL handled SELECT statements with subqueries in the WHERE clause, that assigned results to a user variable. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the MySQL server daemon (mysqld). This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as the MySQL daemon was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2009-4019) When the

    "Updated mysql packages that fix multiple security issues are now
    available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
    
    This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists
    of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and
    libraries.
    
    It was discovered that the MySQL client ignored certain SSL
    certificate verification errors when connecting to servers. A
    man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to trick MySQL clients
    into connecting to a spoofed MySQL server. (CVE-2009-4028)
    
    Note: This fix may uncover previously hidden SSL configuration issues,
    such as incorrect CA certificates being used by clients or expired
    server certificates. This update should be carefully tested in
    deployments where SSL connections are used.
    
    A flaw was found in the way MySQL handled SELECT statements with
    subqueries in the WHERE clause, that assigned results to a user
    variable. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to
    crash the MySQL server daemon (mysqld). This issue only caused a
    temporary denial of service, as the MySQL daemon was automatically
    restarted after the crash. (CVE-2009-4019)
    
    When the 'datadir' option was configured with a relative path, MySQL
    did not properly check paths used as arguments for the DATA DIRECTORY
    and INDEX DIRECTORY directives. An authenticated attacker could use
    this flaw to bypass the restriction preventing the use of
    subdirectories of the MySQL data directory being used as DATA
    DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY paths. (CVE-2009-4030)
    
    Note: Due to the security risks and previous security issues related
    to the use of the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives, users
    not depending on this feature should consider disabling it by adding
    'symbolic-links=0' to the '[mysqld]' section of the 'my.cnf'
    configuration file. In this update, an example of such a configuration
    was added to the default 'my.cnf' file.
    
    All MySQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
    which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. After
    installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be
    restarted automatically."

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists
    of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and
    libraries.
    
    MySQL did not correctly check directories used as arguments for the
    DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives. Using this flaw, an
    authenticated attacker could elevate their access privileges to tables
    created by other database users. Note: This attack does not work on
    existing tables. An attacker can only elevate their access to another
    user's tables as the tables are created. As well, the names of these
    created tables need to be predicted correctly for this attack to
    succeed. (CVE-2008-2079)
    
    A flaw was found in the way MySQL handles an empty bit-string literal.
    A remote, authenticated attacker could crash the MySQL server daemon
    (mysqld) if they used an empty bit-string literal in a SQL statement.
    This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as the MySQL
    daemon was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2008-3963)
    
    An insufficient HTML entities quoting flaw was found in the mysql
    command line client's HTML output mode. If an attacker was able to
    inject arbitrary HTML tags into data stored in a MySQL database, which
    was later retrieved using the mysql command line client and its HTML
    output mode, they could perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack
    against victims viewing the HTML output in a web browser.
    (CVE-2008-4456)
    
    Multiple format string flaws were found in the way the MySQL server
    logs user commands when creating and deleting databases. A remote,
    authenticated attacker with permissions to CREATE and DROP databases
    could use these flaws to formulate a specifically-crafted SQL command
    that would cause a temporary denial of service (open connections to
    mysqld are terminated). (CVE-2009-2446)
    
    Note: To exploit the CVE-2009-2446 flaws, the general query log (the
    mysqld '--log' command line option or the 'log' option in
    '/etc/my.cnf') must be enabled. This logging is not enabled by
    default.
    
    This update also fixes multiple bugs. Details regarding these bugs can
    be found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Technical Notes. You can
    find a link to the Technical Notes in the References section of this
    errata.
    
    Note: These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.0.77 to
    incorporate numerous upstream bug fixes. Details of these changes are
    found in the following MySQL Release Notes:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-77.html
    
    All MySQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
    which resolve these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL
    server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically."

    descriptionA symlink traversal vulnerability was discovered in MySQL, a relational database server. The weakness could permit an attacker having both CREATE TABLE access to a database and the ability to execute shell commands on the database server to bypass MySQL access controls, enabling them to write to tables in databases to which they would not ordinarily have access. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this vulnerability as CVE-2008-4098. Note that a closely aligned issue, identified as CVE-2008-4097, was prevented by the update announced in DSA-1608-1. This new update supersedes that fix and mitigates both potential attack vectors.

    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in mysql : mysqld in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.88 and 5.1.x before 5.1.41 does not (1) properly handle errors during execution of certain SELECT statements with subqueries, and does not (2) preserve certain null_value flags during execution of statements that use the GeomFromWKB function, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted statement (CVE-2009-4019). The vio_verify_callback function in viosslfactories.c in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.88 and 5.1.x before 5.1.41, when OpenSSL is used, accepts a value of zero for the depth of X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL-based MySQL servers via a crafted certificate, as demonstrated by a certificate presented by a server linked against the yaSSL library (CVE-2009-4028). MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.41 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL data home directory, related to incorrect calculation of the mysql_unpacked_real_data_home value. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-2079 (CVE-2009-4030). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Additionally for 2009.0 and MES5 mysql has also been upgraded to the last stable 5.0 release (5.0.89).

descriptionMySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4097.
