Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-28 14:13:25 UTC

A denial of service was found in the way MySQL processed creation of
temporary tables, when the InnoDB storage engine was used. A remote
authenticated MySQL user could use this flaw to cause mysqld daemon
abort (assertion failure).

Upstream bug report:
  [3] http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=54044

Note:
This issue only causes a temporary denial of service, as the mysql daemon
shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will be automatically restarted
after the abort.

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-28 14:16:09 UTC

Public reproducer (from [3]):

SET storage_engine=innodb;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE mk_upgrade AS SELECT  IF(NULL  IS NOT NULL, NULL
, NULL) ; drop table mk_upgrade;

Comment 4 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-28 14:34:36 UTC

This issue did NOT affect the versions of the mysql package, as shipped
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

This issue affects the version of the mysql package, as shipped with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this issue as having
low security impact, as exploitation of this issue would mean only
a temporary denial of service, since the mysql daemon shipped with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will be automatically restarted after
the abort.

A future update may address this flaw in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

--

This issue affects the versions of the mysql package, as shipped with
Fedora release of 12 and 13.
