Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.51a-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
the whole issue is described and discussed here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=19588 it is confirmed, it is serious (it could be easly used as DoS) it also makes bigger servers unusable. it breaks phpmyadmin and many other software scripts, including mysql itself. the problem is that information_schema is very slow on system with many databases, so slow that it's becoming unusable this is of course mysql bug, but why debian doesn't recognize it, and allows installation of this mysel server in it's stable branch ? versions affacted are: 5.0.x and 5.1.x , althoigh some early 5.0 might not get affected please read the whole thing in a link given above, it is described and commented there. since mysql doesn't bother to fix this, maybe debian will, or at least debian could not put affected mysql servers into stable -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 depends on: ii adduser 3.107 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.20 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbi-perl 1.604-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.51a-3 MySQL database client library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080308-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-15 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mysql-client-5.0 5.0.51a-3 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-common 5.0.51a-3 MySQL database common files ii passwd 1:4.1.1-1 change and administer password and ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages mysql-server-5.0 recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii libhtml-template-p 2.9-1 HTML::Template : A module for usin ii mailx 1:20071201-2 Transitional package for mailx ren -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
