MySQL 5.x Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

MySQL is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because if fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects MySQL 5.x; other versions may also be vulnerable.
