Debian Security Advisory 1169-1 - Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database server. Michal Prokopiuk discovered that remote authenticated users are permitted to create and access a database if the lowercase spelling is the same as one they have been granted access to. Beat Vontobel discovered that certain queries replicated to a slave could crash the client and thus terminate the replication.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006-149 - MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21 and 5.0 before 5.0.24 allows a local user to access a table through a previously created MERGE table, even after the user's privileges are revoked for the original table, which might violate intended security policy. MySQL 4.1 before 4.1.21, 5.0 before 5.0.25, and 5.1 before 5.1.12, when run on case-sensitive filesystems, allows remote authenticated users to create or access a database when the database name differs only in case from a database for which they have permissions.
