+ Multiple vulnerabilities in MySQL might lead to privilege escalation and

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MySQL:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Mattias Jonsson reported that a "RENAME TABLE" command against a
+ table with explicit "DATA DIRECTORY" and "INDEX DIRECTORY" options
+ would overwrite the file to which the symlink points
+ (CVE-2007-5969).</li>
+ <li>Martin Friebe discovered that MySQL does not
+ update the DEFINER value of a view when the view is altered
+ (CVE-2007-6303).</li>
+ <li>Philip Stoev discovered that the federated
+ engine expects the response of a remote MySQL server to contain a
+ minimum number of columns in query replies (CVE-2007-6304).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An authenticated remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability
+ to overwrite MySQL system tables and escalate privileges, or use the
+ second vulnerability to gain privileges via an "ALTER VIEW" statement.
+ Remote federated MySQL servers could cause a Denial of Service in the
+ local MySQL server by exploiting the third vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/mysql-5.0.54"</code>
+ </resolution>
