CVE-2012-5612

Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD commands.

These are all security issues fixed in the libmysqlclient-devel-10.0.22-3.8 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for mariadb104 fixes the following issues:

• Implement version 10.4 of MariaDB (jsc#PED-2455):
  • It is possible to use more than one authentication plugin for each user account.
  • The root user account is being created with the ability to use two authentication plugins.
  • All user accounts, passwords, and global privileges are now stored in the mysql.global_priv table.
  • Is being supported for User Password Expiry, which is not active by default.
  • Faster privilege checks for MariaDB setups with many user accounts or many database grants.
• Update mysql-systemd-helper to be aware of custom group (bsc#1200105)
• MariaDB is now support lz4 compression for 'INNODB'. (bsc#1186031)
• Add 'mysql-user.conf' file to enable systemd generating mysql user in containers. (bsc#1173028)
• Fixes an issue when MariaDB is ignoring the value of the parameter 'open_files_limit' in the global variables. (bsc#1180014)
