Descriptions

MySQL before 5.1.48 allows remote authenticated users with alter database privileges to cause a denial of service (server crash and database loss) via an ALTER DATABASE command with a #mysql50# string followed by a . (dot), .. (dot dot), ../ (dot dot slash) or similar sequence, and an UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME command, which causes MySQL to move certain directories to the server data directory.

MySQL anterior a v5.1.48 permite a usuarios autenticados remotamente con privilegios de modificación en la base de datos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de servidor y pérdida de la base de datos) a través del comando "ALTER DATABASE" con una cadena #mysql50# seguida de un ..(punto punto), ../ (punto punto barra) o secuencia similar, y un comando "UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME", lo que provoca que MySQL mueva ciertos directorios al directorio del servidor de datos.
