RETIRED: MariaDB CVE-2012-5579 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

MariaDB is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the mysqld process. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

MariaDB versions prior to 5.1.66, 5.2.13, 5.3.11, and 5.5.28a are vulnerable.

Note: This BID is being retired as a duplicate of BID 56769 (Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 'acl_get()' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability).
