Mandriva Update for mysql MDVSA-2008:017 (mysql)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
MySQL 5.0.x did not update the DEFINER value of a view when the view is altered, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a sequence of statements including a CREATE SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW statement and an ALTER VIEW statement (CVE-2007-6303). The federated engine in MySQL 5.0.x, when performing a certain SHOW TABLE STATUS query, did not properly handle a response with a small number of columns, which could allow a remote MySQL server to cause a denial of service (federated handler crash and daemon crash) via a response that lacks the minimum required number of columns (CVE-2007-6304). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
Affected
mysql on Mandriva Linux 2008.0, Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64
