Slackware 10.2 Moderate: MySQL 4.1.20 Information Leak Resolved

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/mysql-4.0.27-i486-1_slack10.1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-4.0.27. This fixes some minor security issues with possible information leakage. Note that the information leakage bugs require that the attacker have access to an account on the database. Also note that by default, Slackware's rc.mysqld script does *not* allow access to the database through the outside network (it uses the --skip-networking option). If you've enabled network access to MySQL, it is a good idea to filter the port (3306) to prevent access from unauthorized machines.
