Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2008:0364 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: mysql security and bug fix update 2008-05-20 12:44:41 UTC

Description Mark J. Cox 2006-11-20 12:13:02 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #203432 +++

MySQL improperly evaluates the argument passed to suid in the context of the
routine's definer, not in the context of the caller.  This could possibly lead
to privilege escalation.
