MySQL libmysqlclient Library mysql_real_connect() Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been reported for MySQL libmysqlclient library. The problem is said to occur in the mysql_real_connect() function and is likely due to insufficient bounds checking of user-supplied parameters.

It should be noted that this issue would be required to be used in conjunction with an unrelated SQL injection attack or possibly used on a system which allows for the uploading of scripts.
