It was found that the MySQL PolyFromWKB() function did not sanity check Well-Known Binary (WKB) data. A remote, authenticated attacker could use specially crafted WKB data to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3840)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed certain JOIN queries. If a stored procedure contained JOIN queries, and that procedure was executed twice in sequence, it could cause an infinite loop, leading to excessive CPU use (up to 100%). A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3839)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed queries that provide a mixture of numeric and longblob data types to the LEAST or GREATEST function. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3838)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed PREPARE statements containing both GROUP_CONCAT and the WITH ROLLUP modifier. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3837)

It was found that MySQL did not properly pre-evaluate LIKE arguments in view prepare mode. A remote, authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to crash mysqld. (CVE-2010-3836)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed statements that assign a value to a user-defined variable and that also contain a logical value evaluation. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3835)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL evaluated the arguments of extreme-value functions, such as LEAST and GREATEST. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3833)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed EXPLAIN statements for some complex SELECT queries. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3682)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed certain alternating READ requests provided by HANDLER statements. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to provide such requests, causing mysqld to crash. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3681)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statements that define NULL columns when using the InnoDB storage engine. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3680)

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed JOIN queries that attempt to retrieve data from a unique SET column. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3677)

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.
