Update Advisory summaries:
1. Updated mysql packages that fix various security issues are now
available. MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
2. Updated sharutils packages that fix several security issues are now
available. The sharutils package contains a set of tools for encoding
and decoding packages of files in binary or text format.
3. An updated spamassassin package that fixes a denial of service bug when
parsing malformed messages is now available. SpamAssassin provides a way
to reduce unsolicited commercial email (SPAM) from incoming email.

Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated mysql packages fix security issues
Advisory ID: FLSA:2129
Issue date: 2005-03-24
Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2129
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0381 CAN-2004-0388 CAN-2004-0457

1. Topic:
Updated mysql packages that fix various security issues are now
available.
MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
Fedora Core 1 - i386
3. Problem description:
This update fixes a number of potential security problems associated
with careless handling of temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names
CAN-2004-0381, CAN-2004-0388, CAN-2004-0457, and CAN-2005-0004 to these
issues.
Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that "ALTER TABLE ... RENAME" checked
the CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0835 to this issue.
Lukasz Wojtow discovered a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect
function. In order to exploit this issue an attacker would need to force
the use of a malicious DNS server (CAN-2004-0836).
Dean Ellis discovered that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or
different) MERGE tables to change the UNION could cause the server to
crash or stall (CAN-2004-0837).
Sergei Golubchik discovered that if a user is granted privileges to a
database with a name containing an underscore ("_"), the user also gains
the ability to grant privileges to other databases with similar names
(CAN-2004-0957).
All users of mysql should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only*
contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to
configure yum and apt-get.

Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated spamassassin package fixes security issues
Advisory ID: FLSA:2268
Issue date: 2005-03-24
Product: Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2268
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0796
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
An updated spamassassin package that fixes a denial of service bug when
parsing malformed messages is now available.
SpamAssassin provides a way to reduce unsolicited commercial email
(SPAM) from incoming email.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Fedora Core 1 - i386
3. Problem description:
A denial of service bug has been found in SpamAssassin versions below
2.64. A malicious attacker could construct a message in such a way that
would cause spamassassin to stop responding, potentially preventing the
delivery or filtering of email. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0796 to this
issue.
Users of SpamAssassin should update to these updated packages which
contain a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
