Summary

Race condition in the post-installation script (mysql-server-5.5.postinst) for MySQL Server 5.5 for Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu Linux creates a configuration file with world-readable permissions before restricting the permissions, which allows local users to read the file and obtain sensitive information such as credentials.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
  • Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

In addition this update fixes two issues affecting specifically the
mysql-5.5 Debian package :

A race condition in the post-installation script of the
mysql-server-5.5 package creates the configuration file
'/etc/mysql/debian.cnf' with world-readable permissions before
restricting the permissions, which allows local users to read the file
and obtain sensitive information such as credentials for the
debian-sys-maint to perform administration tasks. (CVE-2013-2162 )

Matthias Reichl reported that the mysql-5.5 package misses the patches
applied previous in Debian's mysql-5.1 to drop the database 'test' and
the permissions that allow anonymous access, without a password, from
localhost to the 'test' database and any databases starting
with'test_'. This update reintroduces these patches for the mysql-5.5
package.

Existing databases and permissions are not touched. Please refer to
the NEWS file provided with this update for further information."
