Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:149
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : MySQL
Date : August 24, 2006
Affected: 2006.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21 and 5.0 before 5.0.24 allows a local user to
access a table through a previously created MERGE table, even after the
user's privileges are revoked for the original table, which might
violate intended security policy (CVE-2006-4031).

The update allows the local admin to override MERGE using the
'--skip-merge' option when running mysqld. This can be defined under
MYSQLD_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/mysqld. If '--skip-merge' is not used,
the old behaviour of MERGE tables is still used.

MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21, 5.0 before 5.0.25, and 5.1 before 5.1.12,
when run on case-sensitive filesystems, allows remote authenticated
users to create or access a database when the database name differs
only in case from a database for which they have permissions
(CVE-2006-4226).

Packages have been patched to correct these issues.
