Description Lubomir Kundrak 2007-05-29 15:59:33 UTC

Certain ALTER TABLE SQL statements produce an error message that contains
information normally visible only to users with SELECT privilege.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

MySQL before 5.1.18

Comment 3 Stefan Cornelius 2007-06-13 11:51:58 UTC

are you guys sure about this? fc6 and f7 seems to ship mysql 5.0.something. the
partitions (which are important for this issue) are, afaik, actually a new
feature of 5.1.x, which is beta/unstable - so only unstable mysql 5.1 versions
prior to 5.1.18 are affected and we dodged the bullet here?

Comment 4 Lubomir Kundrak 2007-06-13 12:06:49 UTC

Stefan: thanks for the notice. I don't even know what partitioned tables are,
so I trusted what CVE read, and it was "MySQL before 5.1.18".
