mysql is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists when the β€œdatadir” option was configured with a relative path, MySQL did not properly check paths used as arguments for the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY directives. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to bypass the restriction preventing the use of subdirectories of the MySQL data directory being used as DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY paths.
