REDHAT-BUG-628698
First published: Mon Aug 30 2010(Updated: )
MySQL improperly handled LOAD DATA INFILE requests (it did not check for SQL errors and sent an OK packet even when errors were already reported). A remote, authenticated MySQL user could use this flaw to cause mysqld daemon abort (assertion failure).
