DESCRIPTION:
Some security issues have been reported in MySQL, where one has
unknown impacts while others can be exploited by malicious users to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error within the handling of DDL statements after having
changed the "innodb_file_per_table" or "innodb_file_format"
configuration parameters can be exploited to crash the server.

2) An error when handling joins involving a unique "SET" column can
be exploited to crash the server.

3) An error when handling NULL arguments passed to "IN()" or "CASE"
operations can be exploited to crash the server.

4) An error when processing certain malformed arguments passed to the
"BINLOG" statement can be exploited to crash the server.

5) An error when processing "TEMPORARY" InnoDB tables featuring
nullable columns can be exploited to crash the server.

6) An error when performing alternating reads from two indexes on
tables using the "HANDLER" interface can be exploited to crash the
server.

7) An error when handling "EXPLAIN" statements on certain queries can
be exploited to crash the server.

8) An error when handling "LOAD DATA INFILE" statements can lead to
the return of an "OK" packet although errors have been encountered.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1.49.
