    <p>
    MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server.

  <description>
    <p>
    The processing of the COM_TABLE_DUMP command by a MySQL server fails to
    properly validate packets that arrive from the client via a network
    socket.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    By crafting specific malicious packets an attacker could gather
    confidential information from the memory of a MySQL server process, for
    example results of queries by other users or applications. By using PHP
    code injection or similar techniques it would be possible to exploit
    this flaw through web applications that use MySQL as a database
    backend.
    </p>
    <p>
    Note that on 5.x versions it is possible to overwrite the stack and
    execute arbitrary code with this technique. Users of MySQL 5.x are
    urged to upgrade to the latest available version.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version.
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/mysql-4.0.27"</code>
