"This issue has been adressed in 3.23.56 (release build is started |
19 |
today), and some steps were taken to alleviate the threat. |
20 |
|
21 |
In particular, MySQL will no longer read config files that are |
22 |
world-writeable (and SELECT ... OUTFILE always creates world-writeable |
23 |
files). Also, unlike other options, for --user option the first one will |
24 |
have the precedence. So if --user is set in /etc/my.cnf (as it is |
25 |
recommended in the manual), datadir/my.cnf will not be able to override |
26 |
it." |

SOLUTION |

|

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
34 |
dev-db/mysql upgrade to mysql-3.23.56 as follows: |
35 |
|
36 |
emerge sync |
37 |
emerge mysql |
38 |
emerge clean |
