Advisories MDVSA-2008:150: Updated mysql packages fix vulnerabilities
Multiple buffer overflows in yaSSL, which is used in MySQL, allowed
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-0226) or cause
a denial of service via a special Hello packet (CVE-2008-0227).

Sergei Golubchik found that MySQL did not properly validate optional
data or index directory paths given in a CREATE TABLE statement; as
well it would not, under certain conditions, prevent two databases
from using the same paths for data or index files. This could allow
an authenticated user with appropriate privilege to create tables in
one database to read and manipulate data in tables later created in
other databases, regardless of GRANT privileges (CVE-2008-2079).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
