MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries. It was found that the MySQL PolyFromWKB() function did not sanity check Well-Known Binary (WKB) data. A remote, authenticated attacker could use specially-crafted WKB data to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3840) A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed certain JOIN queries. If a stored procedure contained JOIN queries, and that procedure was executed twice in sequence, it could cause an infinite loop, leading to excessive CPU use (up to 100%). A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3839) A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed queries that provide a mixture of numeric and longblob data types to the LEAST or GREATEST function. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3838) A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed PREPARE statements containing both GROUP_CONCAT and the WITH ROLLUP modifier. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3837) It was found that MySQL did not properly pre-evaluate LIKE arguments in view prepare mode. A remote, authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to crash mysqld. (CVE-2010-3836) A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed statements that assign a value to a user-defined variable and that also contain a logical value evaluation. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3835) A flaw was found in the way MySQL evaluated the arguments of extreme-value functions, such as LEAST and GREATEST. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash. (CVE-2010-3833) A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed EXPLAIN statements for some complex SELECT queries. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash mysqld. This issue only caused a temporary denial of servic ... Description truncated, for more information please check the Reference URL
