PROCEDURE RESULTS IN GARBAGE BYTES
Issue:
-----
This problem occurs under the following conditions:
a) Stored procedure has a variable is declared as TEXT/BLOB.
b) Data is copied into the the variable using the
SELECT...INTO syntax from a TEXT/BLOB column.
Data corruption can occur in such cases.
SOLUTION:
---------
The blob type does not allocate space for the string to be
stored. Instead it contains a pointer to the source string.
Since the source is deallocated immediately after the
select statement, this can cause data corruption.
As part of the fix for Bug #21143080, when the source was
part of the table's write-set, blob would allocate the
neccessary space. But this fix missed the possibility that,
as in the above case, the target might be a variable.
The fix will add the copy_blobs check that was removed by
the earlier fix.
If GCC or CLang compile with link time optimization (-flto),
they throw an error during link , when lto sees a
function (e.g mysql_real_connect) is redeclared as "external void *"
in libmysql_exports.cc
The fix disables -flto for generated libmysql_exports.cc
Problem Statement
=========
Fix various issues when building MySQL with Visual Studio 2015.
Fix:
=======
- Visual Studio 2015 adds support for timespec. Add check and
related code to use this and only use our replacement if
timespec is not defined.
- Rename lfind/lsearch to my* to avoid redefinition problems.
- Set default value for TMPDIR to "" on Windows as P_tmpdir
no longer exists.
- using VS definition of snprintf if available
- tzname are now renamed to _tzname.
one leading zeros for the key agreement instead of
potentially any number.
There is about 1 in 50,000 connections to fail
when using DHE cipher suites. The second problem was the
case where a server would send a public value shorter than
the prime value, causing about 1 in 128 client connections
to fail, and also caused the yaSSL client to read off the
end of memory.
All client side DHE cipher suite users should update.
Note: The patch is received from YaSSL people
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE('201506', "%Y%M"
Issue:
-----
When an invalid date is supplied to the UNIX_TIMESTAMP
function from STR_TO_DATE, no check is performed before
converting it to a timestamp value.
SOLUTION:
---------
Add the check_date function and only if it succeeds,
proceed to the timestamp conversion.
No warning will be returned for dates having zero in
month/date, since partial dates are allowed. UNIX_TIMESTAMP
will return only a zero for such values.
The problem has been handled in 5.6+ with WL#946.
COLUMNS
ANALYSIS:
=========
A valgrind error is reported when CREATE TABLE .. SELECT
involving BIT columns triggers a column type redefinition.
In general the pack_flag is set for BIT columns in
'mysql_prepare_create_table()'. However, during the above
operation, redefined column types was handled after the
special handling for BIT columns and thus pack_flag ended
up not being set correctly triggering the valgrind error.
FIX:
====
The patch fixes this problem by setting pack_flag correctly
for BIT columns in the case of column type redefinition.
This patch fixes another compilation error caused by specifying
attribute nonnull for all the parameters of the copyout function. This
is incorrect as the function actually gets called with null parameters
indirectly and thus only the output parameter should be nonnull.
This patch fixes one compilation error related to __db_lsn struct. The
struct can not be defined as empty according to the main C standard.
In C++, this is handled by forcing a size of 1. To eliminate the error
we add a dummy char field of size 1. This has no effect on the C++
compiled code, but also removes the compiler error.
Problem:
=======
rpl_binlog_index.test fails with following valgrind error.

Analysis and fix:
=================
This issue was fixed as part of Bug#20459363 fix in 5.6 and
above. Hence backporting the fix to MySQL-5.5.
that was mistakenly merged from mysql-5.5.47
(introduces valgrind failures in main.sp, because Field_varstring
columns are created as FIELD_NORMAL and that causes aria to
read bytes between the actual value length and field max length)
while according to Storage Engine API column names should be compared
case insensitively. This can cause FRM and InnoDB data dictionary to
go out of sync.
In fact it was error in decimal library (incorrect processing of buffer overflow) invisible from other server parts because of buffer allocation and precision tests.
The License field in the MariaDB RPM packages is GPL. This does not tell
the version of GPL and might confuse tools and users that rely on this
field.
Best practice in the RPM world is to use "GPLv2" for the GPL 2.0
license.
The commit switches the license field of the RPM packages to GPLv2.
Don't let network errors from mysql_close() leak into THD.
* remove incorrect upstream fix
** table->in_use can be NULL, must use ha_thd()
** clear_error() may remove earlier errors, don't use it
* fix the bug properly in federated and federatedx
fix innodb auto-increment handling
three bugs:
1. innobase_next_autoinc treated the case of current<offset incorrectly
2. ha_innobase::get_auto_increment didn't recalculate current when increment changed
3. ha_innobase::get_auto_increment didn't pass offset down to innobase_next_autoinc
