I note that the impact of every single one of these vulnerabilities was "An authenticated user could exploit this to make MySQL crash, causing a denial of service." That's a pretty low threat level. No mention was made of gaining or increasing access, nor of corrupting data. First, you need an "authenticated user" who is trying to "exploit" a vulnerability to cause "denial of service." If you're allowing a publicly accessible pseudo-user to exploit such vulnerabilities through script injection, that's YOUR problem! If an "authenticated user" causes a "MySQL crash" on my system, they get de-authenticated pretty quickly. :-) ---------------- No rational person can see how using up the topsoil or the fossil fuels as quickly as possible can provide greater security for the future, but if enough wealth and power can conjure up the audacity to say that it can, then sheer fantasy is given the force of truth; the future becomes reckonable as even the past has never been. -- Wendell Berry :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
