debian warns of insecure root password when a plugin is used

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • 5.5.59

    Description

      SELECT count(*) FROM mysql.user WHERE user='root' and password=''

      can report insecure root passwords even if a plugin is used.

      If a bit unfair to report an unused password field as insecure if a plugin is set.

      https://github.com/grooverdan/mariadb-server/tree/5.5-debian-insecure-root-plugin-empty is a patch that corrects this by testing adding and plugin='' in the sql. I submit this under the MCA.

      FYI otto, oerdnj
