MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.51a, 5.1.x before 5.1.23, and 6.0.x before 6.0.4 does not update the DEFINER value of a view when the view is altered, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a sequence of statements including a CREATE SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW statement and an ALTER VIEW statement.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old MySQL privilege-escalation issue. An authenticated database user could abuse incorrect handling of a view's DEFINER metadata after ALTER VIEW to gain privileges they should not have. Business exposure is mainly legacy MySQL deployments still running affected versions or unpatched downstream packages. Exposure is likely limited to systems running the named legacy MySQL branches, especially internet-accessible or shared database environments with users allowed to create or alter views. Treat as a legacy cleanup and exposure-reduction item unless affected MySQL systems remain reachable by many users. Prioritize shared hosting, multi-tenant databases, and externally reachable database services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MySQL to 5.0.51a, 5.1.23, 6.0.4, or a later vendor-fixed release.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Red Hat, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, or rPath where applicable.; Check vendor guidance for package-specific backports and support status..
