   * Wed Jan 11 2006 John H. Bennett III <bennettj@thebennetthome.com>

   - [1.12.0-02.sme00]

mysql-3.23.58-1.73.9.legacy.i386.rpm   

   For all 6.x
   
   FL Note: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/updates/RH7.3/2006-01-10-FLSA_2006_167803__Updated_mysql_packages_fix_security_issues.html
   FL Bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167803

   Reid Borsuk discovered a buffer overflow in the MySQL init_syms()
   function. A user with the ability to create and execute a user
   defined function could potentially execute arbitrary code on the MySQL
   server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
   has assigned the name CVE-2005-2558 to this issue.

   This release fixes two additional problems. A regression was introduced
   in a patch included in the previous MySQL packages that resulted in
   queries performing a DELETE without a WHERE failing on ISAM tables.
   Also, the MySQL init script was improved to allow the MySQL service to
   restart properly during upgrades.
