CVE-2008-7247
Published: 30 November 2009
sql/sql_table.cc in MySQL 5.0.x through 5.0.88, 5.1.x through 5.1.41, and 6.0 before 6.0.9-alpha, when the data home directory contains a symlink to a different filesystem, allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by calling CREATE TABLE with a (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY argument referring to a subdirectory that requires following this symlink.

mdeslaur | This isn't fixed in 5.1.42, as of 2010-01-20 upstream hasn't patched 5.1.x per upstream bug, don't think it's a security issue code is different in 5.0.x and analysis done here: http://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=126097698329834&w=2 says 5.0.x is not affected. |
