view that has Group By
Table access rights checking function check_grant() assumed
that no view is opened when it's called.
This is not true with nested views where the inner view
needs materialization. In this case the view is already
materialized when check_grant() is called for it.
This caused check_grant() to not look for table level
grants on the materialized view table.
Fixed by checking if a view is already materialized and if
it is check table level grants using the original table name
(not the ones of the materialized temp table).

statement/stored procedure
View privileges are properly checked after the fix for bug no
36086, so the method TABLE_LIST::get_db_name() must be used
instead of field TABLE_LIST::db, as this only works for tables.
Bug appears when accessing views in prepared statements.
This patch also fixes bugs 36963 and 35600.
- In many places a view was confused with an anonymous derived
table, i.e. access checking was skipped. Fixed by introducing a
predicate to tell the difference between named and anonymous
derived tables.
- When inserting fields for "SELECT * ", there was no
distinction between base tables and views, where one should be
made. View privileges are checked elsewhere.
a table name.
The problem was that fill_defined_view_parts() did not return
an error if a table is going to be altered. That happened if
the table was already in the table cache. In that case,
open_table() returned non-NULL value (valid TABLE-instance from
the cache).
The fix is to ensure that an error is thrown even if the table
is in the cache.
(This is a backport of the original patch for 5.1)
Non-definer of a view was allowed to alter that view. Due to this the alterer
can elevate his access rights to access rights of the view definer and thus
modify data which he wasn't allowed to modify. A view defined with
SQL SECURITY INVOKER can't be used directly for access rights elevation.
But a user can first alter the view SQL code and then alter the view to
SQL SECURITY DEFINER and thus elevate his access rights. Due to this
altering a view with SQL SECURITY INVOKER is also prohibited.
Now the mysql_create_view function allows ALTER VIEW only to the view
definer or a super user.
- BUG#11986: Stored routines and triggers can fail if the code
has a non-ascii symbol
- BUG#16291: mysqldump corrupts string-constants with non-ascii-chars
- BUG#19443: INFORMATION_SCHEMA does not support charsets properly
- BUG#21249: Character set of SP-var can be ignored
- BUG#25212: Character set of string constant is ignored (stored routines)
- BUG#25221: Character set of string constant is ignored (triggers)
There were a few general problems that caused these bugs:
1. Character set information of the original (definition) query for views,
triggers, stored routines and events was lost.
2. mysqldump output query in client character set, which can be
inappropriate to encode definition-query.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA used strings with mixed encodings to display object
definition;
1. No query-definition-character set.
In order to compile query into execution code, some extra data (such as
environment variables or the database character set) is used. The problem
here was that this context was not preserved. So, on the next load it can
differ from the original one, thus the result will be different.
The context contains the following data:
- client character set;
- connection collation (character set and collation);
- collation of the owner database;
The fix is to store this context and use it each time we parse (compile)
and execute the object (stored routine, trigger, ...).
2. Wrong mysqldump-output.
The original query can contain several encodings (by means of character set
introducers). The problem here was that we tried to convert original query
to the mysqldump-client character set.
Moreover, we stored queries in different character sets for different
objects (views, for one, used UTF8, triggers used original character set).
The solution is
- to store definition queries in the original character set;
- to change SHOW CREATE statement to output definition query in the
binary character set (i.e. without any conversion);
- introduce SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement;
- to dump special statements to switch the context to the original one
before dumping and restore it afterwards.
Note, in order to preserve the database collation at the creation time,
additional ALTER DATABASE might be used (to temporary switch the database
collation back to the original value). In this case, ALTER DATABASE
privilege will be required. This is a backward-incompatible change.
3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA showed non-UTF8 strings
The fix is to generate UTF8-query during the parsing, store it in the object
and show it in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Basically, the idea is to create a copy of the original query convert it to
UTF8. Character set introducers are removed and all text literals are
converted to UTF8.
This UTF8 query is intended to provide user-readable output. It must not be
used to recreate the object. Specialized SHOW CREATE statements should be
used for this.
The reason for this limitation is the following: the original query can
contain symbols from several character sets (by means of character set
introducers).
Example:
- original query:
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT _cp1251 'Hello' AS c1;
- UTF8 query (for INFORMATION_SCHEMA):
CREATE VIEW v1 AS SELECT 'Hello' AS c1;
In acl_getroot_no_password(), use a separate variable for traversing the acl_users list so that the last entry is not used when no matching entries are found.
another user.
When the DEFINER clause isn't specified in the ALTER statement then it's loaded
from the view definition. If the definer differs from the current user then
the error is thrown because only a super-user can set other users as a definers.
Now if the DEFINER clause is omitted in the ALTER VIEW statement then the
definer from the original view is used without check.
on a database.
The problem was that we required not less privileges on the base tables
than we have on the view.
The fix is to be more flexible and allow to create such a view (necessary
privileges will be checked at the runtime).
The problem was that if a prepared statement accessed a view, the
access to the tables listed in the query after that view was done in
the security context of the view.
The bug was in the assigning of the security context to the tables
belonging to a view: we traversed the list of all query tables
instead. It didn't show up in the normal (non-prepared) statements
because of the different order of the steps of checking privileges
and descending into a view for normal and prepared statements.
The solution is to traverse the list and stop once the last table
belonging to the view was processed.
If a view was created with the DEFINER security and later the definer user
was dropped then a SELECT from the view throws the error message saying that
there is no definer user is registered. This is ok for a root but too much
for a mere user.
Now the st_table_list::prepare_view_securety_context() function reveals
the absence of the definer only to a superuser and throws the 'access denied'
error to others.
Select_type in the EXPLAIN output for the query SELECT * FROM t1 was
'SIMPLE', while for the query SELECT * FROM v1, where the view v1
was defined as SELECT * FROM t1, the EXPLAIN output contained 'PRIMARY'
for the select_type column.
invoker name
The bug was fixed similar to how context switch is handled in
Item_func_sp::execute_impl(): we store pointer to current
Name_resolution_context in Item_func_current_user class, and use
its Security_context in Item_func_current_user::fix_fields().
