MySQL <= 3.23.53a and MySQL <= 4.0.5a Are vulnerable to multiple security vulnerabilities Fix: upgrade to 3.23.54 (apparently no fix for <=4.0.5a) From the Security Advisory: "We have discovered two flaws within the MySQL server that can be used by any MySQL user to crash the server. Furthermore one of the flaws can be used to bypass the MySQL password check or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running mysqld. We have also discovered an arbitrary size heap overflow within the mysql client library and another vulnerability that allows to write '\0' to any memory address. Both flaws could allow DOS attacks against or arbitrary code execution within anything linked against libmysqlclient."
