CVE-2006-3486

DISPUTED Off-by-one buffer overflow in the
Instance_options::complete_initialization function in instance_options.cc
in the Instance Manager in MySQL before 5.0.23 and 5.1 before 5.1.12 might
allow local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via
unspecified vectors, which triggers the overflow when the convert_dirname
function is called. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue via e-mail to
CVE, saying that it is only exploitable when the user has access to the
configuration file or the Instance Manager daemon. Due to intended
functionality, this level of access would already allow the user to disrupt
program operation, so this does not cross security boundaries and is not a
vulnerability.
