Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: ENFED). Supported versions that are affected are 5.5.35 and earlier and 5.6.15 and earlier.

Comment 4 Tomas Hoger 2014-07-28 08:57:11 UTC 
ENFED seems to be an abbreviation for Federated storage engine, which is non-default storage engine.
Comment 5 Vincent Danen 2014-09-30 21:29:38 UTC 
Based on timing, it looks like 5.5.39 should fix this, but it's impossible to know for sure as the release notes don't indicate security fixes or reference any CVEs:

Of course, based on the description this might be fixed in 5.5.37 (what we currently ship) -- without more/clearer information from Oracle it is difficult to say.
