Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Vulnerability in MySQL before versions 3.23.59, 4.0.19, 4.1.2, and 5.0.1 incorrectly checks CREATE/INSERT privileges on the original table instead of the target table during an ALTER TABLE RENAME operation. This could allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on tables.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves bypassing access controls and performing unauthorized operations on tables, potentially leading to data integrity violations or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update MySQL to version 3.23.59, 4.0.19, 4.1.2, 5.0.1 or later, where the privilege check in the ALTER TABLE RENAME operation has been fixed.
