Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-30 18:14:20 UTC

A denial of service flaw was found in the way MySQL processed
alternate read requests from two indexes on a table using the
HANDLER interface. A remote, authenticated MySQL user could
use this flaw to cause mysqld daemon abort.

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-30 18:16:19 UTC

Public reproducer from [3]:

--disable_warnings
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
--enable_warnings
CREATE TABLE t1  ( pk INT , PRIMARY KEY (pk));
HANDLER t1 OPEN AS handler_a;
HANDLER handler_a READ FIRST;
HANDLER handler_a READ `PRIMARY` NEXT;

DROP TABLE t1;

Comment 7 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-31 10:40:29 UTC

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

This issue affects the versions of the mysql package, as shipped with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this flaw 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 4 and 5 will be automatically restarted
after the abort.

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

--

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