Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5627)

CWE-ID: CWE-255 - Credentials Management

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to gain access to sensitive information.

Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 5.5.x before 5.5.29, 5.3.x before 5.3.12, and 5.2.x before 5.2.14 does not modify the salt during multiple executions of the change_user command within the same connection which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct brute force password guessing attacks.
