Vulnerable versions: This DoS/exploit tested on mysql-3.20.32a but i see another versions of mysql also vulnerabile.
This could affect our RPMs for Red Hat PowerTools 6.1 and 6.2, which used an ancient version of MySQL: It was the only version of MySQL with a free license (we were allowed todistribute newer versions, but chose not to because of their license). The one shipped with Red Hat Linux 7, after MySQL changed their standard license, is not affected as they don't run as root. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc.
