MySQL INFORMATION_SCHEMA Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability

MySQL is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to handle certain specially crafted queries.

An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the application, denying access to legitimate users.

NOTE: An attacker must be able to execute arbitrary SELECT statements against the database to exploit this issue. This may be done through legitimate means or by exploiting other latent SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

This issue affects versions prior to MySQL 5.0.32 and 5.1.14.
