Description David Walser 2014-10-16 16:57:23 CEST 
Ubuntu has issued an advisory on October 15:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2384-1/

The CVEs are also covered in the latest Oracle Critical Patch Update, along with Java:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuoct2014-1972960.html

I'm assuming that some or all of these issues are also fixed in MariaDB 5.5.38:
https://blog.mariadb.org/mariadb-5-5-40-now-available/

Mageia 3 is also affected.

As usual not so informative CVE descriptions.
Comment 2 Oden Eriksson 2014-10-23 15:24:05 CEST 
mariadb-5.5.40-1.mga3 + mariadb-5.5.40-1.mga4 has been submitted.
Comment 3 Oden Eriksson 2014-10-23 15:27:46 CEST 
The ubuntu advisory (usn-2384-1) also lists these CVEs:

CVE-2012-5615
CVE-2014-4274
CVE-2014-4287
CVE-2014-6463
CVE-2014-6478
CVE-2014-6484
CVE-2014-6495
CVE-2014-6505
CVE-2014-6520
CVE-2014-6530
CVE-2014-6551

I'm assuming these were fixed with mariadb-5.5.38? But then the 
MGASA-2014-0299 advisory does not match.

Those would have been fixed in 5.5.39 then.  No information was available at the time, so they were not included in the advisory.
