Descriptions

MySQL 5.x before 5.0.36 allows local users to cause a denial of service (database crash) by performing information_schema table subselects and using ORDER BY to sort a single-row result, which prevents certain structure elements from being initialized and triggers a NULL dereference in the filesort function.

MySQL versión 5.x anterior a 5.0.36, permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo de base de datos) al realizar subselecciones de la tabla information_schema y utilizar ORDER BY para ordenar un resultado de una sola fila, lo que impide que determinados elementos de la estructura se inicialicen y desencadene una desreferencia de NULL en la función filesort.
