mysql is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A flaw was found in a way MySQL handled symbolic links when database tables were created with explicit βDATAβ and βINDEX DIRECTORYβ options. An authenticated user could create a table that would overwrite tables in other databases, causing destruction of data or allowing the user to elevate privileges.
