MySQL Server Privilege Escalation And Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

MySQL Server Privilege Escalation And Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities

MySQL is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including privilege-escalation and denial-of-service issues.

Exploiting the privilege-escalation vulnerability may allow attackers to perform certain actions with elevated privileges. Successful exploits of the denial-of-service issue will cause the database server to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

These issues affect versions prior to MySQL 5.0.52, MySQL 5.1.23, and MySQL 6.0.4.
