sql/itemxmlfunc.cc in MySQL 5.1 before 5.1.32 and 6.0 before 6.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via "an XPath expression employing a scalar expression as a FilterExpr with ExtractValue() or UpdateXML()," which triggers an assertion failure.
MySQL 3.20 through 4.1.0 uses a weak algorithm for hashed passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt the password via brute force methods.
Buffer overflow in getsaltfrompassword from sqlacl.cc for MySQL 4.0.14 and earlier, and 3.23.x, allows attackers with ALTER TABLE privileges to execute arbitrary code via a long Password field.
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.
MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247.
The mysqluninstallplugin function in sql/sqlplugin.cc in MySQL 5.1 before 5.1.46 does not check privileges before uninstalling a plugin, which allows remote attackers to uninstall arbitrary plugins via the UNINSTALL PLUGIN command.
sqlselect.cc in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.32 and 5.1.x before 5.1.14 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an EXPLAIN SELECT FROM on the INFORMATIONSCHEMA table, as originally demonstrated using ORDER BY.
A deserialization vulnerability exists in the H2O-3 REST API (POST /99/ImportSQLTable) that affects all versions up to 3.46.0.7. This vulnerability allows remote code execution (RCE) due to improper validation of JDBC connection parameters when using a Key-Value format. The vulnerability is present in the MySQL JDBC Driver version 8.0.19 and JDK version 8u112. The issue is resolved in version 3.46.0.8.
An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Connectors related to the Connector/J component has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact.
WriteFreely through 0.15.1, when MySQL is used, allows local users to discover credentials by reading config.ini.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getIfHeader function in the WebDAV functionality in MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP unlock request and a long "If" parameter.
The sapdbwaGetUserData function in MySQL MaxDB 7.5.0.0, and other versions before 7.5.0.21, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via invalid parameters to the WebDAV handler code, which triggers a null dereference that causes the SAP DB Web Agent to crash.
MySQL MaxDB 7.5.0.0, and other versions before 7.5.0.21, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request with invalid headers.
WinMySQLadmin 1.1 stores the MySQL password in plain text in the my.ini file, which allows local users to obtain unathorized access the MySQL database.
MaxDB WebTools 7.5.00.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an HTTP GET request for a file that does not exist, followed by two carriage returns, which causes a NULL dereference.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the WebDav handler in MaxDB WebTools 7.5.00.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Overwrite header.
MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request to webdbm with high ASCII values in the Server field, which triggers an assert error in the IsAscii7 function.
MySQL 3.x before 3.23.59, 4.x before 4.0.19, 4.1.x before 4.1.2, and 5.x before 5.0.1, checks the CREATE/INSERT rights of the original table instead of the target table in an ALTER TABLE RENAME operation, which could allow attackers to conduct unauthorized activities.
MySQL 4.x before 4.0.21, and 3.x before 3.23.49, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) via multiple threads that simultaneously alter MERGE table UNIONs.
Stack-based buffer overflow in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.3, and 5.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long scramble string.
The checkscramble323 function in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.3, and 5.0, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a zero-length scrambled string.
mysqlbug in MySQL allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the failed-mysql-bugreport temporary file.
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.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in MySQL Eventum 1.5.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) id parameter to view.php, (2) release parameter to list.php, or (3) F parameter to getjsrsdata.php.
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in MySQL Eventum 1.5.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) isCorrectPassword or (2) userExist function in class.auth.php, getCustomFieldReport function in (4) customfields.php, (5) customfieldsgraph.php, or (6) class.report.php, or the insert function in (7) releases.php or (8) class.release.php.
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.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to bypass library path restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to modify the mysql.func table, which is processed by the udfinit function.
