Ubuntu 6.06, additional improvements were made to make privilege checks
more restictive. As a result, an upstream bug was exposed which could
cause operations on tables or views in a different database to fail. This
update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 Masaaki Hirose discovered that MySQL could be made to dereference
 a NULL pointer. An authenticated user could cause a denial of service
 (application crash) via an EXPLAIN SELECT FROM on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
 table. This issue only affects Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10. (CVE-2006-7232)

 Alexander Nozdrin discovered that MySQL did not restore database access
 privileges when returning from SQL SECURITY INVOKER stored routines. An
 authenticated user could exploit this to gain privileges. This issue
 does not affect Ubuntu 7.10. (CVE-2007-2692)

 Martin Friebe discovered that MySQL did not properly update the DEFINER
 value of an altered view. An authenticated user could use CREATE SQL
 SECURITY DEFINER VIEW and ALTER VIEW statements to gain privileges.
 (CVE-2007-6303)

 Luigi Auriemma discovered that yaSSL as included in MySQL did not
 properly validate its input. A remote attacker could send crafted
 requests and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary
 code. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 6.06 in the default installation.
 (CVE-2008-0226, CVE-2008-0227)");
