MDKSA-2006:097: 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-2006:097 (MySQL).



SQL injection vulnerability in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.20 and 5.0.x

before 5.0.22 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary

SQL commands via crafted multibyte encodings in character sets such as

SJIS, BIG5, and GBK, which are not properly handled when the

mysql_real_escape function is used to escape the input.



MySQL 4.0.18 in Corporate 3.0 and MNF 2.0 is not affected by this issue.



Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
