within query
The server could crash after materializing a derived table
which requires a temporary table for grouping.
When destroying the temporary table used to execute a query for
a derived table, JOIN::destroy() did not clean up Item_fields
pointing to fields in the temporary table. This led to
dereferencing a dangling pointer when printing out the items
tree later in the outer SELECT.
The solution is an addendum to the patch for bug37362: in
addition to cleaning up items in tmp_all_fields3, do the same
for items in tmp_all_fields1, since now we have an example
where this is necessary.
KILL_BAD_DATA is returned
Two problems discovered with the LEAST()/GREATEST()
functions:
1. The check for a null value should happen even
after the second call to val_str() in the args. This is
important because two subsequent calls to the same
Item::val_str() may yield different results.
Fixed by checking for NULL value before dereferencing
the string result.
2. While looping over the arguments and evaluating them
the loop should stop if there was an error evaluating so far
or the statement was killed. Fixed by checking for error
and bailing out.
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' behaviour
BUG#55474, BUG#55499, BUG#55598, BUG#55616 and BUG#55777 are fixed
in this patch too.
This is the 5.1 part.
It implements:
- if the table exists, binlog two events: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
and INSERT ... SELECT
- Insert nothing and binlog nothing on master if the existing object
is a view. It only generates a warning that table already exists.
An user assignment variable expression that's
evaluated in a logical expression context
(Item::val_bool()) can be pre-calculated in a
temporary table for GROUP BY.
However when the expression value is used after the
temp table creation it was re-evaluated instead of
being read from the temp table due to a missing
val_bool_result() method.
Fixed by implementing the method.
The server was not checking for errors generated during
the execution of Item::val_xxx() methods when copying
data to the group, order, or distinct temp table's row.
Fixed by extending the copy_funcs() to return an error
code and by checking for that error code on the places
copy_funcs() is called.
Test case added.
variable assignments
The assert() that is firing is checking if expressions that can't be
null return a NULL when evaluated.
MAKEDATE() function can return NULL if the second argument is
less then or equal to 0. Thus its nullability depends not only on
the nullability of its arguments but also on their values.
Fixed by (overoptimistically) setting MAKEDATE() to be nullable
despite the nullability of its arguments.
Test added.
Had to update one test result to reflect the metadata change.
INSERT IGNORE ... SELECT ... UNION SELECT ...
This assert was triggered by INSERT IGNORE ... SELECT. The assert checks that a
statement either sends OK or an error to the client. If the bug was triggered
on release builds, it caused OK to be sent to the client instead of the correct
error message (in this case ER_FIELD_SPECIFIED_TWICE).
The reason the assert was triggered, was that lex->no_error was set to TRUE
during JOIN::optimize() because of IGNORE. This causes all errors to be ignored.
However, not all errors can be ignored. Some, such as ER_FIELD_SPECIFIED_TWICE
will cause the INSERT to fail no matter what. But since lex->no_error was set,
the critical errors were ignored, the INSERT failed and neither OK nor the
error message was sent to the client.
This patch fixes the problem by temporarily turning off lex->no_error in
places where errors cannot be ignored during processing of INSERT ... SELECT.
Test case added to insert.test.
The CONVERT_TZ function crashes the server when the
timezone argument is an empty SET field value.
1) The CONVERT_TZ may find a timezone string in the
tz_names hash.
2) A string representation of the empty SET is a
String of zero length with the NULL pointer.
3) If the key argument length is zero, hash functions
do comparison using the length of the record being
compared against.
I.e. a zero-length String buffer is an invalid
argument for hash search functions, and if String
points to NULL buffer, hashcmp() fails with SEGV
accessing that memory.
The my_tz_find function has been modified to
treat empty Strings as invalid timezone values
to skip unnecessary hash search.
file .\item_subselect.cc, line 836
IN quantified predicates are never executed directly. They are rather wrapped
inside nodes called IN Optimizers (Item_in_optimizer) which take care of the
execution. However, this is not done during query preparation. Unfortunately
the LIKE predicate pre-evaluates constant right-hand side arguments even
during name resolution. Likely this is meant as an optimization.
Fixed by not pre-evaluating LIKE arguments in view prepare mode.
Reverted the ulong->uint diff
Re-applied the first diff.
The original commit message follows:
enum plugin system variables are ulong internally, not int.
On systems where long is not the same as an int it causes
problems.
Fixed by correct typecasting. Removed the test from the
experimental list.
The enum system variables were handled inconsistently
as ints, unsigned int and unsigned long on various places.
This caused problems on platforms on which
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
Fixed by homogenizing the type of the enum variables
to unsigned int, since it's size compatible with the C enum
type.
Removed the test from the experimental list.
With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.
A CREATE...SELECT that fails is written to the binary log if a non-transactional
statement is updated. If the logging format is ROW, the CREATE statement and the
changes are written to the binary log as distinct events and by consequence the
created table is not rolled back in the slave.
In this patch, we opted to let the slave goes out of sync by not writting to the
binary log the CREATE statement. We do this by simply reseting the binary log's
cache.
Queries may crash, if
1) the GREATEST or the LEAST function has a mixed list of
numeric and LONGBLOB arguments and
2) the result of such a function goes through an intermediate
temporary table.
An Item that references a LONGBLOB field has max_length of
UINT_MAX32 == (2^32 - 1).
The current implementation of GREATEST/LEAST returns REAL
result for a mixed list of numeric and string arguments (that
contradicts with the current documentation, this contradiction
was discussed and it was decided to update the documentation).
The max_length of such a function call was calculated as a
maximum of argument max_length values (i.e. UINT_MAX32).
That max_length value of UINT_MAX32 was used as a length for
the intermediate temporary table Field_double to hold
GREATEST/LEAST function result.
The Field_double::val_str() method call on that field
allocates a String value.
Since an allocation of String reserves an additional byte
for a zero-termination, the size of String buffer was
set to (UINT_MAX32 + 1), that caused an integer overflow:
actually, an empty buffer of size 0 was allocated.
An initialization of the "first" byte of that zero-size
buffer with '\0' caused a crash.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() has been
modified to calculate max_length for the REAL result like
we do it for arithmetical operators.

In order to be able to check if the set of the grouping fields in a
GROUP BY has changed (and thus to start a new group) the optimizer
caches the current values of these fields in a set of Cached_item
derived objects.
The Cached_item_str, used for caching varchar and TEXT columns,
is limited in length by the max_sort_length variable.
A String buffer to store the value with an alloced length of either
the max length of the string or the value of max_sort_length
(whichever is smaller) in Cached_item_str's constructor.
Then, at compare time the value of the string to compare to was
truncated to the alloced length of the string buffer inside
Cached_item_str.
This is all fine and valid, but only if you're not assigning
values near or equal to the alloced length of this buffer.
Because when assigning values like this the alloced length is
rounded up and as a result the next set of data will not match the
group buffer, thus leading to wrong results because of the changed
alloced_length.
Fixed by preserving the original maximum length in the
Cached_item_str's constructor and using this instead of the
alloced_length to limit the string to compare to.
Test case added.
Fix a regression (due to a typo) which caused spurious incorrect
argument errors for long data stream parameters if all forms of
logging were disabled (binary, general and slow logs).

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves.
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
This bug is fixed with the logic below:
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
- Example:
'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
will be binlogged as
'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/
prepared statements
Using GROUP_CONCAT() together with the WITH ROLLUP modifier
could crash the server.
The reason was a combination of several facts:
1. The Item_func_group_concat class stores pointers to ORDER
objects representing the columns in the ORDER BY clause of
GROUP_CONCAT().
2. find_order_in_list() called from
Item_func_group_concat::setup() modifies the ORDER objects so
that their 'item' member points to the arguments list
allocated in the Item_func_group_concat constructor.
3. In some cases (e.g. in JOIN::rollup_make_fields) a copy of
the original Item_func_group_concat object could be created by
using the Item_func_group_concat::Item_func_group_concat(THD
*thd, Item_func_group_concat *item) copy constructor. The
latter essentially creates a shallow copy of the source
object. Memory for the arguments array is allocated on
thd->mem_root, but the pointers for arguments and ORDER are
copied verbatim.
What happens in the test case is that when executing the query
for the first time, after a copy of the original
Item_func_group_concat object has been created by
JOIN::rollup_make_fields(), find_order_in_list() is called for
this new object. It then resolves ORDER BY by modifying the
ORDER objects so that they point to elements of the arguments
array which is local to the cloned object. When thd->mem_root
is freed upon completing the execution, pointers in the ORDER
objects become invalid. Those ORDER objects, however, are also
shared with the original Item_func_group_concat object which is
preserved between executions of a prepared statement. So the
first call to find_order_in_list() for the original object on
the second execution tries to dereference an invalid pointer.
The solution is to create copies of the ORDER objects when
copying Item_func_group_concat to not leave any stale pointers
in other instances with different lifecycles.
SHOW DATABASES LIKE ... was not converting to lowercase on comparison as the
documentation is suggesting.
Fixed it to behave similarly to SHOW TABLES LIKE ... and updated the failing
on MacOSX lowercase_table2 test case.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
table with active trx
Essentially, the problem is that InnoDB does a implicit commit
when a cursor (table handler) is unlocked/closed, creating
a dissonance between the transaction state within the server
layer and the storage engine layer. Theoretically, a statement
transaction can encompass several table instances in a similar
manner to a multiple statement transaction, hence it does not
make sense to limit a statement transaction to the lifetime of
the table instances (cursors) used within it.
Since this particular instance of the problem is only triggerable
on 5.1 and is masked on 5.5 due 2PC being skipped (assertion is in
the prepare phase of a 2PC), the solution (which is less risky) is
to explicitly end the transaction before the cached table is unlock
on rename table.
The patch is to be null merged into trunk.
Problem: when SHOW BINLOG EVENTS was issued, it increased the value of
@@session.max_allowed_packet. This allowed a non-root user to increase
the amount of memory used by her thread arbitrarily. Thus, it removes
the bound on the amount of system resources used by a client, so it
presents a security risk (DoS attack).
Fix: it is correct to increase the value of @@session.max_allowed_packet
while executing SHOW BINLOG EVENTS (see BUG 30435). However, the
increase should only be temporary. Thus, the fix is to restore the value
when SHOW BINLOG EVENTS ends.
The value of @@session.max_allowed_packet is also increased in
mysql_binlog_send (i.e., the binlog dump thread). It is not clear if this
can cause any trouble, since normally the client that issues
COM_BINLOG_DUMP will not issue any other commands that would be affected
by the increased value of @@session.max_allowed_packet. However, we
restore the value just in case.
This assert checks that the server does not try to send OK to the
client if there has been some error during processing. This is done
to make sure that the error is in fact sent to the client.
The problem was that view errors during processing of WHERE conditions
in UPDATE statements where not detected by the update code. It therefore
tried to send OK to the client, triggering the assert.
The bug was only noticeable in debug builds.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the update code
checks for errors during condition processing and acts accordingly.
compiler problem
GCC-style inline assembly is not supported by the Sun Studio
compilers prior to version 12.
Added a check for the Sun Studio version to avoid using
_FPU_GETCW() / _FPU_SETCW() when inline assembly is
unsupported. This can lead to some differences in floating
point calculations on Solaris 8/x86 which, however, is not worth
bothering with Sun-style assembly .il templates.
Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
In bug-28430 HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION
was disabled in the partitioning engine in the first patch,
That bug was later fixed a second time, but that flag
was not removed.
No need to disable this flag, as it leads to bad
choise in row replication.
The problem there is that HAVING condition evaluates const
parts of condition despite the condition has references
on aggregate functions. Table t1 became const tables
after make_join_statistics and table1.pk = 1, HAVING is
transformed into MAX(1) < 7 and taken away from HAVING.
The fix is to skip evaluation of HAVING conts parts if
HAVING condition has references on aggregate functions.
The handler function for reading one row from a specific index
was not optimized in the partitioning handler since it
used the default implementation.
No test case since it is performance only, verified by hand.
