CAN-2003-0073: The mysql package contains a bug whereby dynamically allocated memory is freed more than once, which could be deliberately triggered by an attacker to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. In order to exploit this vulnerability, a valid username and password combination for access to the MySQL server is required.
CAN-2003-0150: The mysql package contains a bug whereby a malicious user, granted certain permissions within mysql, could create a configuration file which would cause the mysql server to run as root, or any other user, rather than the mysql user.
