Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2012-07-20 09:26:01 UTC

According to upstream security page, this issue only affected MySQL 5.5.x versions and did not affect 5.1.x versions.  MySQL versions shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux are older than 5.5 (5.0.x in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 5.1.x in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6).  MySQL packages in Fedora are already updated to fixed upstream version (all supported Fedora versions currently have 5.5.25a).

Upstream has not provided any further details about this flaw.
