Unfortunately, the most recent mysql version in the official repositories is 5.5.24. Even Ubuntu 12.10, which is in the testing phase, only has 5.5.25.

If you want to upgrade to 5.5.27, you have two options, neither of which will probably successfully "upgrade" your existing installation, may break future official Ubuntu mysql updates, and may or may not work:

Install the 5.5.27 deb packages (for Debian) from the official website.

Build 5.5.27 from source (also available at the MySQL website).
