update
Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
Package name: MySQL and php Date: January 22nd, 2001 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:014 Affected versions: 7.2
Problem Description:
A security problem exists in all versions of MySQL after 3.23.2
and prior to 3.23.31. The problem is that the SHOW GRANTS command
could be executed by any user making it possible for anyone with a
MySQL account to get the crypted password from the mysql.user
table. The new 3.23.31 version fixes this.
Due to library changes, the previously announced PHP update
(MDKSA-2001:013) has been updated as well so that the php-mysql
module supports this new version of MySQL. It also corrects the
upgrade scripts in the package, however you will still need to
verify that PHP support is enabled in your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Apache configuration file and verify
that the installed modules are uncommented in your /etc/php.ini
file.
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the
integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the
command:
rpm –checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team
at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use
<<MandrakeUpdate>>.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package
from one of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with “rpm -Uvh
package_name”.
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the “updates/[ver]/RPMS/”
directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in “updates/7.1/RPMS/”.
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours
to update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of
the two above-listed mirrors.
