Synopsis:	Important: mysql security update
Issue date:	2007-12-18
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-5969 CVE-2007-5925

A flaw was found in a way MySQL handled symbolic links when database tables
were created with explicit "DATA" and "INDEX DIRECTORY" options. An
authenticated user could create a table that would overwrite tables in
other databases, causing destruction of data or allowing the user to
elevate privileges. (CVE-2007-5969)

A flaw was found in a way MySQL's InnoDB engine handled spatial indexes. An
authenticated user could create a table with spatial indexes, which are not
supported by the InnoDB engine, that would cause the mysql daemon to crash
when used. This issue only causes a temporary denial of service, as the
mysql daemon will be automatically restarted after the crash.
