Bug#17667: An attacker has the opportunity to bypass query logging.
This adds a new, local-only printf format specifier to our *printf functions
that allows us to print known-size buffers that must not be interpreted as
NUL-terminated "strings."
It uses this format-specifier to print to the log, thus fixing this
problem.
- Grab the path from "configure --sysconfdir=<path>" and set it as
the first place to look for my.cnf files
Do this both in Makefiles for libmysql and mysys
- Patch provided by Francesco Riosa. Thank you!
Changed defaults option --instance to --defaults-group-suffix
Changed option handling to allow --defaults-file, --defaults-extra-file and --defaults-group-suffix to be given in any order
Changed MYSQL_INSTANCE to MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX
mysql_print_defaults now understands --defaults-group-suffix
Remove usage of my_tempnam() (not safe function)
if( -> if ( and while( to while (
The problem was that on Windows the access method indicates that access to file
such as "com1" and "lpt1" is allowed (since they are device names) and
this causes mysql to attempt to open them as databases or tables.
The fix was to write our own my_access method that uses other Win32 functions
to determine if the given argument is indeed a file and has to requested
mode.
provide created shared memory objects with proper
access rights to make them usable when client and server
are running under different accounts.
Post review fixes.
required autotools macro written and deployed in all apropriate Makefile.ams.
Use cases checked:
- linux, standard location of zlib, no ndb
- linux, standard locatoin of zlib, with ndb
- linux, non-standard location of zlib, no ndb
- hpux11, use of bundled zlib, no ndb
The only non-checked case is non-standard location of zlib (or use of bundled
zlib) + ndb. I wasn't able to check it as ndb/ just won't compile on beasts
like AIX52 or HPUX11, where such a check is possible. It didn't compile
there before as these systems dont't have installed zlib, so nothing got broken ;)
This ensures that my_file_info takes this the max number of files into account and one can now use --open-files-limit on windows to increase number of used files up to 2048
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Call pthread_mutex_destroy() on not used mutex.
Changed comments in .h and .c files from // -> /* */
Added detection of mutex on which one didn't call pthread_mutex_destroy()
Fixed bug in create_tmp_field() which causes a memory overrun in queries that uses "ORDER BY constant_expression"
Added optimisation for ORDER BY NULL
