CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade mysql to version 5.1.46 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The mysql_uninstall_plugin function in sql/sql_plugin.cc in MySQL 5.1 before 5.1.46 does not check privileges before uninstalling a plugin, which allows remote attackers to uninstall arbitrary plugins via the UNINSTALL PLUGIN command.
