Hi, We have identified a rather serious bug in "libmysqlclient" of v3.23.49.
The client we are using is RIPE 3.1.0 (an Internet Routing Registry server) proivded by RIPE. This latest version uses threaded libraries. Upon starting this server it would very shortly thereafter crash. This occured because of a bug in the MYSQL client library (libmysqlclient). The bug was an improperly formed "for" loop in a routine called "mysql_read_default_options()" (libmysql.c:715). The "for" statement used to read as follows: for (end= *option ; (end= strcend(end,'_')) ; ) The patched statement that has been tested and works fine is: for (end= *option ; (end= strcend(end,'_'))&& *end ; ) //* detect null */ Have a great day!!!
