Description Vincent Danen 2010-10-07 00:01:32 UTC 
A flaw in MySQL versions prior to 5.1.51 [1] was reported [2] that could allow an authenticated user to cause the MySQL server to crash when improper WKB data was passed to the PolyFromWKB() function.

There is an upstream patch [3] to correct the issue.
