Descriptions

Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier and 5.5.29 and earlier, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (mysqld crash) via a SELECT command with an UpdateXML command containing XML with a large number of unique, nested elements.

MySQL v5.5.19 y posiblemente otras versiones, y MariaDB v5.5.28a y posiblemente otras versiones, permiten a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de mysqld) a través de un comando SELECT con un comando updateXML que contiene XML con un gran número de elementos anidados "unique".

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in MySQL, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service. Versions less than 5.1.70 are affected.
