Security Fix(es):

  * It was discovered that the MySQL logging functionality allowed writing to
MySQL configuration files. An administrative database user, or a database
user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to run arbitrary
commands with root privileges on the system running the database server.
(CVE-2016-6662)

  * A race condition was found in the way MySQL performed MyISAM engine table
repair. A database user with shell access to the server running mysqld
could use this flaw to change permissions of arbitrary files writable by
the mysql system user. (CVE-2016-6663, CVE-2016-5616)");
