CVE-2012-5613

DISPUTED MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB
5.5.28a and possibly other versions, when configured to assign the FILE
privilege to users who should not have administrative privileges, allows
remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging the FILE
privilege to create files as the MySQL administrator. NOTE: the vendor
disputes this issue, stating that this is only a vulnerability when the
administrator does not follow recommendations in the product’s installation
documentation. NOTE: it could be argued that this should not be included in
CVE because it is a configuration issue.
