MDKSA-2005:070: MySQL Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the MySQL package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:070 (MySQL).
A vulnerability in MySQL would allow a user with grant rights to a database
with a name containing an underscore character ('_') to have the ability to
grant rights to other databases with similar names. This problem was
previously discovered and fixed, but a new case where the problem still existed
was recently discovered.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
