ae30abbfc510aa1b5374607d3162c2ecded4d5bf712509d32e195be3b8105269Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A vulnerability in MySQL prior to 5.0.45 did not require privileges such as SELECT for the source table in a CREATE TABLE LIKE statement, allowing remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information such as the table structure. A vulnerability in the InnoDB engine in MySQL allowed remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (database crash) via certain CONTAINS operations on an indexed column, which triggered an assertion error. Using RENAME TABLE against a table with explicit DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options could be used to overwrite system table information by replacing the file to which a symlink pointed to.
