The mysql_create_function function in sql_udf.cc for MySQL 4.0 before 4.0.25, 4.1 before 4.1.13, and 5.0 before 5.0.7-beta, when running on Windows, uses an incomplete blacklist in a directory traversal check, which allows attackers to include arbitrary files via the backslash (\) character.
mysql_install_db in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.12 and 5.x up to 5.0.4 creates the mysql_install_db.X file with a predictable filename and insecure permissions, which allows local users to execute arbitrary SQL commands by modifying the file's contents.
MySQL MaxDB 7.5.00 for Windows, and possibly earlier versions and other platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via invalid parameters to the (1) DBMCli_String::ReallocString, (2) DBMCli_String::operator, (3) DBMCli_Buffer::ForceResize, (4) DBMCli_Wizard::InstallDatabase, (5) DBMCli_Devspaces::Complete, (6) DBMWeb_TemplateWizard::askForWriteCountStep5, or (7) DBMWeb_DBMWeb::wizardDB functions, which triggers a null dereference.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to execute arbitrary code by using CREATE FUNCTION to access libc calls, as demonstrated by using strcat, on_exit, and exit.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, allows remote authenticated users with INSERT and DELETE privileges to bypass library path restrictions and execute arbitrary libraries by using INSERT INTO to modify the mysql.func table, which is processed by the udf_init function.
MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, uses predictable file names when creating temporary tables, which allows local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getIfHeader function in the WebDAV functionality in MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP unlock request and a long "If" parameter.
Multiple buffer overflows in the web tool for MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) an HTTP GET request with a long file parameter after a percent ("%") sign or (2) a long Lock-Token string to the WebDAV functionality, which is not properly handled by the getLockTokenHeader function in WDVHandler_CommonUtils.c.
MySQL MaxDB 7.5.0.0, and other versions before 7.5.0.21, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request with invalid headers.
The sapdbwa_GetUserData function in MySQL MaxDB 7.5.0.0, and other versions before 7.5.0.21, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via invalid parameters to the WebDAV handler code, which triggers a null dereference that causes the SAP DB Web Agent to crash.
