| Packages: | MySQL, MySQL-client, MySQL-shared |
| Summary: | buffer overflow. |
EnGarde Secure Linux is an enterprise class Linux platform
engineered to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively
build a complete and secure Internet presence while preventing
Internet threats.
OVERVIEW
The MySQL daemon contains a buffer overflow which may be exploited
by any user who has ALTER TABLE permissions on the “mysql”
database. Once exploited, the attacker may be able to execute
arbitrary code as the user under which the MySQL daemon is being
run (“mysql” on a default EnGarde installation).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0780 to this issue.
Guardian Digital products affected by this issue include:
EnGarde Secure Community v1.0.1
EnGarde Secure Community 2
EnGarde Secure Professional v1.1

It is recommended that all users apply this update as soon as
possible.
