attack.");

"The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is older than
5.0.23 or 5.1.12.  As such, it reportedly is affected by an off-by-one
buffer overflow. 

A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the service.

Note that this vulnerability is disputed as the attacker needs
extensive permissions to launch the attack.  Such permissions allow
him to disrupt the service.");
