DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in MySQL, which can be
exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges or cause a
DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error in MySQL replication when handling version specific
comments can be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL statements with
"SUPER" privileges on a slave if the master runs a lower server
release version than the slave.

This vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 5.1.50.

2) An error in the processing of arguments passed to e.g. the
"LEAST()" or "GREATEST()" function can be exploited to cause the
server to crash.

3) An error when materialising a derived table that requires a
temporary table for grouping can be exploited to cause the server to
crash.

4) An error exists due to the re-evaluation of expression values used
for temporary tables, which can be exploited to cause the server to
crash.

5) An error in the handling of the "GROUP_CONCAT()" statement in
combination with "WITH ROLLUP" can be exploited to cause the server
to crash.

6) An error within the handling of the "GREATEST()" or "LEAST()"
functions when using an intermediate temporary table can be exploited
to cause a crash by passing a mixed list of numeric and "LONGBLOB"
arguments to the affected functions.

7) An error in the processing of nested joins in stored procedures
and prepared statements can be exploited to cause an infinite loop.

Vulnerabilities #2 through #7 are reported in versions prior to
5.1.51.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1.51.
