A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the user permission checking
code in MySQL. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to 
crash the
mysqld daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user running the mysqld daemon. (CVE-2012-5611)

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be
restarted automatically.
