CVE-2013-1861: Buffer Overflow
First published: Thu Mar 07 2013(Updated: )
Alyssa Milburn reported that when MySQL attempts to convert a binary string representation of a raw geometry object to a textual representation, the length checks in MySQL's spatial functions would overflow, resulting in a crash of mysqld (for instance, a query like "select astext(0x0100000000030000000100000000000010);" will cause the crash). This has been reported to both upstream MariaDB [1] and Oracle [2]. A proposed patch is available [3].
