MySQL 5.1.56 packages are now available on Dotdeb :

  • for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” and Debian 5.0 “Lenny”
  • for the amd64 and i386 architectures

Of course, the corresponding Pinba storage engine has been rebuilt (Squeeze only). But take care to the plugin-load directive in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file : MySQL does not support several plugin-load directives and always keep the last read. Then if you want, for example, use the Pinba storage engine while having the the InnoDB plugin loaded, you should uncomment the following line.

plugin-load=innodb=ha_innodb_plugin.so;libpinba_engine.so

And, as usual, please read the Changelog of this maintainance release before upgrading.

MySQL 5.1.54 packages are now available on Dotdeb in amd64/i386 flavours for Lenny and Squeeze.

As usual, please read the Changelog of this maintainance release before upgrading.

Now, about MySQL 5.5 (I was asked on Twitter or in the comments here), it will be available on Dotdeb as soon as it is in Debian Sid or experimental. Please be patient. If you don’t need some 5.5 specific features, such as semi-sync replication, and if you just need to boost your InnoDB performances, you really should take a look at your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and enable the InnoDB plugin.

It fixes a DoS vulnerability http://www.dotdeb.org/2010/10/05/upgrade-to-mysql-5-1-51-it-fixes-a-dos-vulnerability/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=upgrade-to-mysql-5-1-51-it-fixes-a-dos-vulnerability http://www.dotdeb.org/2010/10/05/upgrade-to-mysql-5-1-51-it-fixes-a-dos-vulnerability/#comments Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:14:32 +0000 Guillaume Plessis http://www.dotdeb.org/?p=404 MySQL versions prior to 5.1.51 (including 5.1.50) suffer from a vulnerability in the processing of arguments passed to the LEAST()or GREATEST() functions. This issue could be exploited by a malicious user to cause a server crash, leading to a DoS condition.

You really should upgrade your Lenny servers (amd64 or i386) with the new packages of MySQL 5.1.51 from Dotdeb. As usual, don’t forget to read the Changelog before upgrading.

It’s a collection of utilities that help MySQL DBAs in many redundant, complex or boring tasks. For example :

  • mk-query-digest that outputs a digest of the queries from a slow-query logfile or from a running MySQL server,
  • mk-slave-delay that could help you to keep a copy of your databases while rolling back a new version of your application,
  • mk-parallel-dump and mk-parallel-restore to speed up your dump/load processes,
  • mk-table-checksum that checks the consistency of your MySQL slave,
  • …

If you’re a MySQL DBA that runs Debian servers, you really should install the new Maatkit packages from Dotdeb and read its documentation. There is a tool that will help you on your daily usage of MySQL, for sure!
