    Debian Bug : 711600 732306

    Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to a new upstream
    version, 5.5.33, which includes additional changes, such as performance improvements, bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible
    changes. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes for further details:

    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-32.html
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-33.html

    In addition this update fixes two issues affecting specifically the
    mysql-5.5 Debian package:

    A race condition in the post-installation script of the mysql-server-5.5 package creates the configuration file "/etc/mysql/debian.cnf" with world-readable permissions before restricting the permissions, which
    allows local users to read the file and obtain sensitive information
    such as credentials for the debian-sys-maint to perform
    administration tasks. (CVE-2013-2162)

    Matthias Reichl reported that the mysql-5.5 package misses the patches
    applied previous in Debian's mysql-5.1 to drop the database "test" and
    the permissions that allow anonymous access, without a password, from
    localhost to the "test" database and any databases starting with
    "test_". This update reintroduces these patches for the mysql-5.5
    package.

    Existing databases and permissions are not touched. Please refer to the
    NEWS file provided with this update for further information.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
    version 5.5.33+dfsg-0+wheezy1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), the Debian specific problems will
    be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-5.5 packages.
