Discussion

MySQL Privilege Elevation and Security Bypass Vulnerabilities

MySQL is prone to these vulnerabilities:

- A privilege-elevation vulnerability. A user with privileges to execute SUID routines may gain elevated privileges by executing certain commands and code with higher privileges.

- A security-bypass vulnerability. A user can bypass restrictions and create new databases.

MySQL 5.0.24 and prior versions are affected by these issues.
