Several problems have been discovered in MySQL, a commonly used SQL database on Unix servers. The following problems have been identified by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project :

  • CAN-2004-0835 Oleksandr Byelkin noticed that ALTER TABLE … RENAME checks CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one.

  • CAN-2004-0836

    Lukasz Wojtow noticed a buffer overrun in the mysql_real_connect function.

  • CAN-2004-0837

    Dean Ellis noticed that multiple threads ALTERing the same (or different) MERGE tables to change the UNION can cause the server to crash or stall.
