Description Josh Bressers 2006-08-21 20:36:36 UTC

Mysql upstream found a bug in the way the mysql server handles database
permissions when the server is run on a case sensitive filesystem.

This could allow a user who has been granted certain rights to do unexpected
things, such as creating a new database.

The upstream bug has more information:
