"The remote host is running a version of MySQL that is older than 
4.0.21.

MySQL is a database that runs on both Linux/BSD and Windows platforms.
This version is vulnerable to a length overflow within it's 
mysql_real_connect() function.  The overflow is due to an error in the
processing of a return Domain (DNS) record.  An attacker, exploiting
this flaw, would need to control a DNS server, which would be queried
by the MySQL server.  A successful attack would give the attacker
the ability to execute arbitrary code on the remote machine.");
