Hi Guys,

As you can see I love learning new things about this area,

So i've been fiddling around with this-
http://milw0rm.com/exploits/311

Managed to get the success message from a couple Very Happy

Just wondering if it's actually possible to login, if so how?

My local version also succeeded,
So I am wondering how I login via this exploit without typing in my password.

Thanks for your advice!

After some poking around I found that there is current no publicly known way to gain access using this exploit if the server has succeeded.

Apparently it was created to test the security of your MySQL installation, even if that was the case the person who found the exploit should know the way in Smile

I might be wrong in saying this,

But I was reading an article that majority of the MySQL clients will ask you for a password before allowing you access to the databases ect.

If you don't enter in a password it will in shorter explanation reject your password before verifying it with the database to prevent things like this happening.

Will keep poking around though!

This PoC relates to:

http://www.nextgenss.com/advisories/mysql-authbypass.txt

It gives you the possibility to have root privileges on mysql servers without knowing password. So this proof of concept exploit must be rewritten in order to do something useful, for example adding new root-privilieged account to mysql. And after that just log in as root and use mysql file-related functions to read and/or write arbitrary files to target server.

By the way, this bug is really old, you have hard time to find exploitable targets right now @ 2007. But you can try all the hackings on your local test computer with mysql vulnerable version installed.

Anyone have modified mysql client to connect for testing this security flaw. ??
