mysql is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the way MySQL handles an empty bit-string literal. A remote, authenticated attacker could crash the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) if they used an empty bit-string literal in an SQL statement. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as the MySQL daemon was automatically restarted after the crash.
