[debian-mysql] Bug#795272: mysql-server-5.5: mysql_install_db runs as root, creating tables and binlogs owned by root instead of mysql

[Colin Leroy]

Package: mysql-server-5.5
Version: 5.5.44-0+deb7u1
Severity: important

Hi,
This bug happened already with mysql-server-5.1 (#663000) and has
already been fixed in Jessie (#737224). It still happens on Wheezy,
which is what my servers use.

The problem happens if mysql_install_db creates tables but also is
binlogging is enabled, in which case *.bin logs are created owned by
root:root instead of mysql:mysql.

It can prevent mysql from restarting, with a permission denied error.

Here is a debdiff to fix it.

I hope this helps and can be integrated!

Thanks for your work.
