Description Mark J. Cox 2004-10-12 13:33:06 UTC
The following flaws have recently been publicised in MySQL, public on
Oct11

        CAN-2004-0835 ALTER TABLE ... RENAME checks wrong rights
        http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=3270

        CAN-2004-0836 buffer overrun in mysql_real_connect
        http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4017

        CAN-2004-0837 server crash due to locking
        http://bugs.mysql.com/2408

All these issues affect the mysql-server subpackage only, which was
not shipped in RHEL3 but was made available via the unsupported RHN
"Extras" channel.
