DSA-833-2 mysql-dfsg-4.1 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment This update only covers binary packages for the big endian MIPS architecture that was mysteriously forgotten in the earlier update. For completeness below is the original advisory text: A stack-based buffer overflow in the init_syms function of MySQL, a popular database, has been discovered that permits remote authenticated users who can create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code via a long function_name field. The ability to create user-defined functions is not typically granted to untrusted users. The following vulnerability matrix explains which version of MySQL in which distribution has this problem fixed: We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-dfsg-4.1 packages.
