NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmariadbd104-devel package and not the libmariadbd104-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

mysql_install_db in MariaDB 10.4.7 through 10.4.11 allows privilege escalation from the mysql user account to root because chown and chmod are performed unsafely, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on a chmod 04755 of auth_pam_tool_dir/auth_pam_tool. NOTE: this does not affect the Oracle MySQL product, which implements mysql_install_db differently.
