+Description:
+ Shaun Colley discovered [1] that the scripts "mysqlbug" and
+ "mysqld_multi" of the MySQL RDBMS [0] perform insecure creations of
+ temporary files. An attacker could create symbolic links in /tmp to
+ achieve the overwriting of files with the privileges of the user
+ invoking the scripts. The RDBMS startup wrapper "mysqld_multi" is
+ currently not used in OpenPKG, although it is contained in the
+ "mysql" package. The "mysqlbug" script could be run manually by the
+ administrator. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
+ assigned the ids CAN-2004-0381 [2] and CAN-2004-0388 [3] to the
+ problem.
+
+ 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). [4][5]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [6][7], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [8][9] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [10], build a corresponding binary
+ RPM from it [4] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [5]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.0, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.0/UPD
+ ftp> get mysql-4.0.18-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig mysql-4.0.18-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild mysql-4.0.18-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/mysql-4.0.18-2.0.1.*.rpm
