Description:
MySQL contains a double-free bug since it sometimes tries to free the same memory location twice, which can lead to a DoS (Denial of Service) on mysqld.
The vulnerability is in the mysql_change_user() handling and a user can exploit the vulnerability by connecting with a malicious MySQL client. Successful exploitation will crash the mysqld deamon but requires logon using a valid user account.
