Description

This article explains whether Junos Space is affected by CVE-2005-2572 and provides guidance for understanding the impact.

Symptoms

CVE-2005-2572:

MySQL, when running on Windows, allows remote authenticated users with insert privileges on the mysql.func table to cause a denial of service (server hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a request for a non-library file, which causes the Windows LoadLibraryEx function to block, or (2) a request for a function in a library that has the XXX_deinit or XXX_init functions defined but is not tailored for mySQL, such as jpeg1x32.dll and jpeg2x32.dll.

Solution

User-defined functions in MySQL allow a user in the database to call binary libraries on the operating system. Creating a user-defined function requires insert privileges on the mysql.func table.

 

Please note: "JunosSpace do not have any user defined functions used in mysql database" due to which JunosSpace is not affected by CVE-2005-2572.
