Discussion

MySQL User-Defined Function Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

MySQL is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. The application fails to perform sufficient boundary checks on data supplied as an argument in a user-defined function.

A database user with sufficient access to create a user-defined function can exploit this issue. Attackers may also be able to exploit this issue through latent SQL-injection vulnerabilities in third-party applications that use the database as a backend.

Successful exploits will allow arbitrary code to run in the context of the database server process.
