- 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;
database.
If a user has a right to update anything in the current database then the
access was granted and further checks of access rights for underlying tables
wasn't done correctly. The check is done before a view is opened and thus no
check of access rights for underlying tables can be carried out.
This allows a user to update through a view a table from another database for
which he hasn't enough rights.
Now the mysql_update() and the mysql_test_update() functions are forces
re-checking of access rights after a view is opened.
The problem was that THD::db_access variable was not restored after
database switch in stored-routine-execution code.
The fix is to restore THD::db_access in this case.
Unfortunately, this fix requires additional changes,
because in prepare_schema_table(), called on the parsing stage, we checked
privileges. That was wrong according to our design, but this flaw haven't
struck so far, because it was masked. All privilege checkings must be
done on the execution stage in order to be compatible with prepared statements
and stored routines. So, this patch also contains patch for
prepare_schema_table(), which moves the checkings to the execution phase.
with other alterations causes lost tables
Using RENAME clause combined with other clauses of ALTER TABLE led to
data loss (the data was there but not accessible). This could happen if the
changes do not change the table much. Adding and droppping of fields and
indices was safe. Renaming a column with MODIFY or CHANGE was unsafe operation,
if the actual column didn't change (changing from int to int, which is a noop)
Depending on the storage engine (SE) the behavior is different:
1)MyISAM/MEMORY - the ALTER TABLE statement completes
without any error but next SELECT against the new table fails.
2)InnoDB (and every other transactional table) - The ALTER TABLE statement
fails. There are the the following files in the db dir -
`new_table_name.frm` and a temporary table's frm. If the SE is file
based, then the data and index files will be present but with the old
names. What happens is that for InnoDB the table is not renamed in the
internal DDIC.
Fixed by adding additional call to mysql_rename_table() method, which should
not include FRM file rename, because it has been already done during file
names juggling.
User name (host name) has limit on length. The server code relies on these
limits when storing the names. The problem was that sometimes these limits
were not checked properly, so that could lead to buffer overflow.
The fix is to check length of user/host name in parser and if string is too
long, throw an error.

that way because of compatibility reasons." (see #20136)

Add define YASSL_PREFIX when compiling yassl
Import patch from yaSSL
- avoid allocating memory for each call to 'EVP_md5' and
'EVP_des_ede3_cbc' which were not released until server was stopped
- Those functions are used from the SQL function 'des_encrypt' and
'des_decrypt'.
Add new define YASSL_PREFIX beforee including ssl.h to activate inclusion of prefix_*.h files
Bug#20022 mysql-test-run can't be run with secure connections turned on for all testcases
- Part 1, fixes rpl- and federated-tests where connection is made to 127.0.0.1
- Include prefix files that renames all public functions in yaSSLs
OpenSSL API to ya<function_name>. They will otherwise conflict
with OpenSSL functions if loaded by an application that uses OpenSSL
as well as libmysqlclient with yaSSL support.
Bug#18235: assertion/crash when windows mysqld is ended with ctrl-c
Two threads both try a shutdown sequence which creates a race to the
de-init/free of certain resources.
This exists in similar form in the client as 17926: "mysql.exe crashes
when ctrl-c is pressed in windows."
Update after merge to 5.0
BUG#18669: Session COM_STATISTICS breaks mysqladmin status.
Changed COM_STATISTICS to display the global status, instead of thead status, for slow queries and table opens.
- In function 'handle_grant_struct' when searching the memory structures for an
entry to modify, convert all entries here host.hostname is NULL to "" and compare that
with the host passed in argument "user_from".
- A user created with hostname "" is stored in "mysql.user" table as host="" but when loaded into
memory it'll be stored as host.hostname NULL. Specifiying "" as hostname means
that "any host" can connect. Thus is's correct to turn on allow_all_hosts
when such a user is found.
- Review and fix other places where host.hostname may be NULL.
BUG#19394 OPT_INNODB_THREAD_CONCURRENCY duplicated
Removed duplication (not a user-visible change)
The check for view security was lacking several points :
1. Check with the right set of permissions : for each table ref that
participates in a view there were the right credentials to use in it's
security_ctx member, but these weren't used for checking the credentials.
This makes hard enforcing the SQL SECURITY DEFINER|INVOKER property
consistently.
2. Because of the above the security checking for views was just ruled out
in explicit ways in several places.
3. The security was checked only for the columns of the tables that are
brought into the query from a view. So if there is no column reference
outside of the view definition it was not detecting the lack of access to
the tables in the view in SQL SECURITY INVOKER mode.
The fix below tries to fix the above 3 points.
- In function 'handle_grant_struct' when searching the memory structures for an
entry to modify, convert all entries here host.hostname is NULL to "" and compare that
with the host passed in argument "user_from".
- A user created with hostname "" is stored in "mysql.user" table as host="" but when loaded into
memory it'll be stored as host.hostname NULL. Specifiying "" as hostname means
that "any host" can connect. Thus is's correct to turn on allow_all_hosts
when such a user is found.
- Review and fix other places where host.hostname may be NULL.
