Package: mysql-server Version: 5.7.25-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that mysqld is listening on '*'. I did not change the default settings and I want mysqld to listen on 127.0.0.1. I tried setting 'bind-address' in various config files but mysqld always listens on '*' (and the port is in fact open for other systems, checked with nmap). This should illustrate the issue: $ grep -ir bind-address /etc/mysql/* /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf:bind-address = 127.0.0.1 $ systemctl restart mysql.service $ ss -ntlp | grep mysql LISTEN 0 80 *:3306 *:* users:(("mysqld",pid=31054,fd=29)) ^-this should be 127.0.0.1 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mysql-server depends on: ii mysql-server-5.7 5.7.25-1 mysql-server recommends no packages. mysql-server suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
