Description:
Nikolaos Rangos has discovered a vulnerability in MySQL, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the "dispatch_command()" function in sql_parse.cc. This can be exploited to crash an affected service via specially crafted "COM_CREATE_DB" or "COM_DROP_DB" requests.
Successful exploitation requires create database or drop database privileges.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.0.83 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
