RHSA-2008:0510: Moderate: Red Hat Application Stack v1.3 security and enhancement update

The Red Hat Application Stack is an integrated open source applicationstack, and includes JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP).Starting with this update, JBoss EAP is no longer provided via theApplication Stack channels. Instead, all Application Stack customers areautomatically entitled to the JBoss EAP channels. This ensures all usershave immediate access to JBoss EAP packages when they are released,ensuring lesser wait for security and critical patches.As a result, you must MANUALLY subscribe to the appropriate JBoss EAPchannel, as all further JBoss EAP updates will only go to that channel.This update also entitles all customers to the JBoss EAP 4.3.0 channels.Users receive support for JBoss EAP 4.3.0 if they choose to install it.Important: downgrading from JBoss EAP 4.3.0 to 4.2.0 is unsupported.MySQL was updated to version 5.0.50sp1a, fixing the following securityissue:MySQL did not correctly check directories used as arguments for the DATADIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives. Using this flaw, an authenticatedattacker could elevate their access privileges to tables created by otherdatabase users. Note: this attack does not work on existing tables. Anattacker can only elevate their access to another user's tables as thetables are created. As well, the names of these created tables need to bepredicted correctly for this attack to succeed. (CVE-2008-2079)The following packages are updated: httpd to 2.0.63 modjk to 1.2.26 the MySQL Connector/ODBC to 3.51.24r1071 perl-DBD-MySQL to 4.006 perl-DBI to 1.604 postgresqlclient7 to 7.4.19 postgresql-jdbc to 8.1.412 unixODBC to 2.2.12
