Beschreibung:
Ueber eine Schwachstelle in MySQL auf Windows-Systemen koennen lokale Benutzer das Passwort und den Benutzernamen des Administrators sehen.

Das Problem wird dadurch verursacht, dass keine Zugangssperren fuer die Datei "my.ini" vergeben sind und Benutzername und Paswort dort im Klartext gespeichert sind.

Dem Bericht zufolge betrifft die Luecke MySQL 3und MySQL 4 auf Windows. Unix-und Linux-basierte Versionen sind nicht betroffen.

Lösung:
Erlauben Sie nur vertrauenswuerdigen Benutzern den Zugang zum System mit MySQL oder vergeben Sie Berechtigungen fuer "my.ini".
