+Description:
+ According to a message on BugTraq [0], a remote root exploit
+ vulnerability exists in the 3.23.55 version and earlier versions of
+ the MySQL server [1]. If the MySQL server is launched by root, as it
+ is often done by system startup scripts, any database users with the
+ FILE privilege can write a configuration file that causes the MySQL
+ server to run under an arbitrary user id including the user id of the
+ super user on the next restart.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm
+ -q mysql". If you have the "mysql" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade
+ it (see Solution) and it's dependent packages (see above), if any,
+ too. [2][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [4][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [2] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
+ RPM [3]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following
+ operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
+ adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
+ ftp> get mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.2.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.2.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.2.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/mysql-3.23.54a-1.2.2.*.rpm
+
+ Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
+ all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [2][4]
