Hello
A friendly reader of the Debian mailing lists backported the latest
security patch for the mysql version that is in Debian's last release.
I post this in case that
a) any other people rather like to patch their existing servers than
upgrade to a new major release
b) anybody finds a problem with this patch
thanks,
-christian-
