It was discovered that the MySQL logging functionality allowed writing to MySQL configuration files. An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server.

Affected Packages:

mysql55, mysql56

Issue Correction:
Run yum update mysql55 to update your system.
Run yum update mysql56 to update your system.
