mysql-5.5 vulnerabilities

Published Apr 23, 2014 · Updated Apr 22, 2026

Ecosystem: Ubuntu

Summary

Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes
a new upstream MySQL version to fix these issues. MySQL has been updated to
5.5.37.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes,
new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Please see the following for more information:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-36.html

Additionally, Matthias Reichl discovered that the mysql-5.5 packages were
missing the patches applied previously in the mysql-5.1 packages to drop
the default test database and localhost permissions granting access to any
databases starting with "test_". This update reintroduces these patches for
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10, and Ubuntu 13.10. Existing test databases
and permissions will not be modified on upgrade. To manually restrict
access for existing installations, please refer to the following:
