Ubuntu: USN-4651-1: MySQL vulnerabilities
Description
Tom Reynolds discovered that due to a packaging error, the MySQL X Plugin was listening to all network interfaces by default, contrary to expectations.
This update changes the default MySQL configuration to bind the MySQL X Plugin to localhost only. This change may impact environments where the MySQL X Plugin needs to be accessible from the network. The mysqlx-bind-address setting in the /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf file can be modified to allow network access.
