A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next version. You can access the patch from: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/77637 2789 Staale Smedseng 2009-07-01 Bug #45790 Potential DoS vector: Writing of user input to log without proper formatting The problem is that a suitably crafted database identifier supplied to COM_CREATE_DB or COM_DROP_DB can cause a SIGSEGV, and thereby a denial of service. The packet is printed to the log using no format string, so potential attackers can control the behavior of vprintf() by supplying their own format string. A CREATE or DROP privilege would be required. This patch supplies a format string to the printing of the database name. A test case is added to mysql_client_test. @ sql/sql_parse.cc Add format strings. @ tests/mysql_client_test.c New test case.

Noted in 5.0.84, 5.1.37, 5.4.4 changelogs. A suitable database identifier supplied to the COM_CREATE_DB or COM_DROP_DB command could cause a segmentation fault, and thereby a denial of service.

This affects 5.0 only. No changelog entry for 5.1.37, 5.4.4 needed.

Now that 5.0.84 has been released, this bug should not be marked as private anymore, correct?

We've opened bug #50227 for the Intevydis exploit. It seems to be a possible yaSSL bug. Any server without an SSL certificate so far has not been vulnerable in our testing, nor have any recent 5.0 or 5.1 versions since a yaSSL fix in 5.0.54a and 5.1.23, but testing continues and Intevydis think later versions are vulnerable. Bug #50227 is currently private and will be made public when we've fixes released for any versions that need them.
Description: Set to private due to the remotely exploitable nature of the bug. A suitably crafted database identifier supplied to COM_CREATE_DB or COM_DROP_DB can cause a SIGSEGV, and thereby a denial of service. The packet is printed to the log using no format string, so potential attackers can control the behavior of vprintf() by supplying their own format string. This code is not in use in 5.1+. How to repeat: Modify mysql_client_test.c as given below, and execute 'mtr mysql_client_test' with the debugger of choice. The number of '%s' specifiers needed is dependent on stack contents, and may vary. A test for COM_DROP_DB would be similar. === modified file 'tests/mysql_client_test.c' --- tests/mysql_client_test.c 2009-05-05 09:07:11 +0000 +++ tests/mysql_client_test.c 2009-06-26 13:56:12 +0000 @@ -12062,6 +12062,17 @@ myquery(rc); } +static void test_create_db_DoS() +{ + int rc; + const char* bogus_db = "%s%s%s%s%s"; + + myheader("test_create_db_DoS"); + rc= simple_command(mysql, COM_CREATE_DB, bogus_db, + (ulong)strlen(bogus_db), 0); + myquery(rc); +} + static void test_bug6096() { @@ -16829,6 +16840,7 @@ { "test_bug6059", test_bug6059 }, { "test_bug6046", test_bug6046 }, { "test_bug6081", test_bug6081 }, + { "test_create_db_DoS" ,test_create_db_DoS }, { "test_bug6096", test_bug6096 }, { "test_datetime_ranges", test_datetime_ranges }, { "test_bug4172", test_bug4172 }, Suggested fix: === modified file 'sql/sql_parse.cc' --- sql/sql_parse.cc 2009-06-24 15:37:07 +0000 +++ sql/sql_parse.cc 2009-06-26 12:50:43 +0000 @@ -2096,7 +2096,7 @@ } if (check_access(thd,CREATE_ACL,db,0,1,0,is_schema_db(db))) break; - mysql_log.write(thd,command,packet); + mysql_log.write(thd,command,"%s",packet); bzero(&create_info, sizeof(create_info)); mysql_create_db(thd, (lower_case_table_names == 2 ? alias : db), &create_info, 0); @@ -2121,7 +2121,7 @@ ER(ER_LOCK_OR_ACTIVE_TRANSACTION), MYF(0)); break; } - mysql_log.write(thd,command,db); + mysql_log.write(thd,command,"%s",db); mysql_rm_db(thd, db, 0, 0); break; }
