Buffer overflow in MySQL 5.0 through 5.0.91 and 5.1 before 5.1.47 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a COMFIELDLIST command with a long table name.
Directory traversal vulnerability in MySQL 5.0 through 5.0.91 and 5.1 before 5.1.47 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended table grants to read field definitions of arbitrary tables, and on 5.1 to read or delete content of arbitrary tables, via a .. (dot dot) in a table name.
The mynetskiprest function in sql/netserv.cc in MySQL 5.0 through 5.0.91 and 5.1 before 5.1.47 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by sending a large number of packets that exceed the maximum length.
The federated engine in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.51a, 5.1.x before 5.1.23, and 6.0.x before 6.0.4, when performing a certain SHOW TABLE STATUS query, allows remote MySQL servers to cause a denial of service (federated handler crash and daemon crash) via a response that lacks the minimum required number of columns.
The mysqlchangedb function in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.40 and 5.1.x before 5.1.18 does not restore THD::dbaccess privileges when returning from SQL SECURITY INVOKER stored routines, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges.
MySQL before 5.0.25 and 5.1 before 5.1.12 evaluates arguments of suid routines in the security context of the routine's definer instead of the routine's caller, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges through a routine that has been made available using GRANT EXECUTE.
sqlparse.cc in MySQL 4.0.x up to 4.0.26, 4.1.x up to 4.1.18, and 5.0.x up to 5.0.20 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a COMTABLEDUMP request with an incorrect packet length, which includes portions of memory in an error message.
The checkconnection function in sqlparse.cc in MySQL 4.0.x up to 4.0.26, 4.1.x up to 4.1.18, and 5.0.x up to 5.0.20 allows remote attackers to read portions of memory via a username without a trailing null byte, which causes a buffer over-read.
Buffer overflow in the opentable function in sqlbase.cc in MySQL 5.0.x up to 5.0.20 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted COMTABLEDUMP packets with invalid length values.
MySQL 5.0.18 and earlier allows local users to bypass logging mechanisms via SQL queries that contain the NULL character, which are not properly handled by the mysqlrealquery function. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for the mysqlquery function, but the vendor states that since mysqlquery expects a null character, this is not an issue for mysqlquery.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the initsyms function in MySQL 4.0 before 4.0.25, 4.1 before 4.1.13, and 5.0 before 5.0.7-beta allows remote authenticated users who can create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code via a long functionname field.
The mysqlcreatefunction function in sqludf.cc for MySQL 4.0 before 4.0.25, 4.1 before 4.1.13, and 5.0 before 5.0.7-beta, when running on Windows, uses an incomplete blacklist in a directory traversal check, which allows attackers to include arbitrary files via the backslash (\) character.
mysqlinstalldb in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.12 and 5.x up to 5.0.4 creates the mysqlinstalldb.X file with a predictable filename and insecure permissions, which allows local users to execute arbitrary SQL commands by modifying the file's contents.
