ibqb and mysql-5.5 end of life for jessie
14 February 2020
===========================================================================
AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: libq and MySQL 5.5
Publisher: Debian
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 8
Impact/Access: Reduced Security -- Unknown/Unspecified
Resolution: Alternate Program
Original Bulletin:
https://www.debian.org/lts/security/2020/dla-2103
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Package : debian-security-support
Version : 2019.12.12~deb8u2
debian-security-support, the Debian security support coverage checker,
has been updated in jessie-security.
This marks the end of life of the libqb package in jessie. A recently
reported vulnerability against libqb which allows users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack cannot be adequately addressed in
libqb in jessie. Upstream no longer supports this version and no
packages in jessie depend upon libqb.
We recommend that if your systems or applications depend upon the libqb
package provided from the Debian archive that you upgrade your systems
to a more recent Debian release or find an alternate and up to date
source of libqb packages.
Additionally, MySQL 5.5 is no longer supported. Upstream has ended its
support and we are unable to backport fixes from newer versions due to
the lack of patch details. Options are to switch to MariaDB 10.0 in
jessie or to a newer version of MySQL in more recent Debian releases.
Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
