<description>
<p>
Jean-David Maillefer discovered a format string vulnerability in
time.cc where MySQL fails to properly handle specially formatted user
input to the date_format function.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
By specifying a format string as the first parameter to the date_format
function, an authenticated attacker could cause MySQL to crash,
resulting in a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot ">=dev-db/mysql-4.1.21"</code>
</resolution>
