Vulnerability Name:

CCN-55877

Published:2010-01-25
Updated:2010-01-25
Summary:MySQL, when running with SSL support, is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when parsing certificates by the yaSSL library. By sending a specially-crafted SSL certificate, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application using the vulnerable library to crash.
