  • MDEV-3909 remote user enumeration (CVE-2012-5615)

    • Revision #2643.139.1 Mon 2013-01-21 11:47:45 -0800
      • Fixed bug MDEV-4063 (bug #56927). This bug could result in returning 0 for the expressions of the form <aggregate_function>(distinct field) when the system variable max_heap_table_size was set to a small enough number. It happened because the method Unique::walk() did not support the case when more than one pass was needed to merge the trees of distinct values saved in an external file.
      • Backported a fix in grant_lowercase.test from mariadb 5.5.
  • Revision #2643.137.35 Mon 2013-01-21 10:52:39 +0100
    • MDEV-4029 SELECT on information_schema using a subquery locks up the information_schema table due to incorrect mutexes handling
    • Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables, otherwise the subquery on this same table will try to acquire LOCK_status twice.
• Revision #3198 Sat 2013-01-19 23:40:53 -0800
  • Corrected the test case for bug MDEV-3938.
• Revision #3197 Wed 2013-01-16 11:17:58 -0800
  • Corrected the fix for bug MDEV-3938.
• Revision #3196 Tue 2013-01-15 16:46:27 -0800
  • Fixed bug MDEV-3938. The original patch with the implementation of virtual columns did not support INSERT DELAYED into tables with virtual columns. This patch fixes the problem.

  • 5.1 merge

• Revision #3193 [merge] Fri 2012-12-21 14:04:25 +0100
  • merge
  • Revision #2643.137.31 Thu 2012-12-06 00:37:06 +0100
    • MDEV-3918: myisamchk bogus error for files larger than 4GB.
    • The failure is caused by failing stat() call . C Runtime function stat() uses old struct with 32bit st_size member, and since Visual Studio 2010 , it returns an error on st_size overflow (i.e on files larger than 4GB)
    • Fix replaces stat() by my_stat(), the later is backed by 64bit-able stat64().
• Revision #3192 Tue 2012-12-11 09:50:48 +0100
  • one-byte overflow with old passwords
• Revision #3191 Mon 2012-11-26 13:33:24 +0100
  • Fix broken feedback plugin after MDEV-712.
  • Link feedback plugin with yassl libraries, if with-ssl=bundled is used, since mysqld does not export SSL symbols anymore.
• Revision #3190 Fri 2012-11-23 13:50:46 +0100
  • MDEV-712 - Bug #1024239 - Mysqlclient exports the same symbols as openssl
  • Compile yassl and taocrypt using -fvisibility=hidden, when possible. This prevent symbols from being exported.
