old_password() functions
The PASSWORD() and OLD_PASSWORD() functions could lead to
memory reads outside of an internal buffer when used with BLOB
arguments.
String::c_ptr() assumes there is at least one extra byte
in the internally allocated buffer when adding the trailing
'\0'. This, however, may not be the case when a String object
was initialized with externally allocated buffer.
The bug was fixed by adding an additional "length" argument to
make_scrambled_password_323() and make_scrambled_password() in
order to avoid String::c_ptr() calls for
PASSWORD()/OLD_PASSWORD().
However, since the make_scrambled_password[_323] functions are
a part of the client library ABI, the functions with the new
interfaces were implemented with the 'my_' prefix in their
names, with the old functions changed to be wrappers around
the new ones to maintain interface compatibility.
--old-passwords
Support for option --old-protocol was removed.
Some test performed.
Tests for SSL and replication are pending.
More strict following to specification for --old-passwords
is in the TODO.
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
