1 - If a user had SHOW VIEW and SELECT privileges on a view and
this view was referencing another view, EXPLAIN SELECT on the outer
view (that the user had privileges on) could reveal the structure
of the underlying "inner" view as well as the number of rows in
the underlying tables, even if the user had privileges on none of
these referenced objects.
This happened because we used DEFINER's UID ("SUID") not just for
the view given in EXPLAIN, but also when checking privileges on
the underlying views (where we should use the UID of the EXPLAIN's
INVOKER instead).
We no longer run the EXPLAIN SUID (with DEFINER's privileges).
This prevents a possible exploit and makes permissions more
orthogonal.
2 - EXPLAIN SELECT would reveal a view's structure even if the user
did not have SHOW VIEW privileges for that view, as long as they
had SELECT privilege on the underlying tables.
Instead of requiring both SHOW VIEW privilege on a view and SELECT
privilege on all underlying tables, we were checking for presence
of either of them.
We now explicitly require SHOW VIEW and SELECT privileges on
the view we run EXPLAIN SELECT on, as well as all its
underlying views. We also require SELECT on all relevant
tables.
INVOKER-security view access check wrong".
When privilege checks were done for tables used from an
INVOKER-security view which in its turn was used from
a DEFINER-security view connection's active security
context was incorrectly used instead of security context
with privileges of the second view's creator.
This meant that users which had enough rights to access
the DEFINER-security view and as result were supposed to
be able successfully access it were unable to do so in
cases when they didn't have privileges on underlying tables
of the INVOKER-security view.
This problem was caused by the fact that for INVOKER-security
views TABLE_LIST::security_ctx member for underlying tables
were set to 0 even in cases when particular view was used from
another DEFINER-security view. This meant that when checks of
privileges on these underlying tables was done in
setup_tables_and_check_access() active connection security
context was used instead of context corresponding to the
creator of caller view.
This fix addresses the problem by ensuring that underlying
tables of an INVOKER-security view inherit security context
from the view and thus correct security context is used for
privilege checks on underlying tables in cases when such view
is used from another view with DEFINER-security.

WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".
After review fixes in progress.
------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata
locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No
significant changes in the locking protocol.
The import passes the test suite with the exception of
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.
This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one
tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it
was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections
to close this table.
These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code
in this case assumed that temporary table representing new
version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables
list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't
always fulfilling this.
This patch changes code that opens new version of table to
always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process
for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table
open.

mysql-5.1-rpl-merge has been made a mirror of mysql-next-mr:

This is the first cset (merge/...) committed after pulling
from mysql-next-mr.
The flag EXTRA_ACL is used in conjugation with our access checks, yet it is
not clear what impact this flag has.
This is a code clean up which replaces use of EXTRA_ACL with an explicit
function parameter.
The patch also fixes privilege checks for:
- SHOW CREATE TABLE: The new privilege requirement is any privilege on
the table-level.
- CHECKSUM TABLE: Requires SELECT on the table level.
- SHOW CREATE VIEW: Requires SHOW_VIEW and SELECT on the table level
(just as the manual claims)
- SHOW INDEX: Requires any privilege on any column combination.
view that has Group By
When SELECT'ing from a view that mentions another,
materialized, view, access was being denied. The issue was
resolved by lifting a special case which avoided such access
checking in check_single_table_access. In the past, this was
necessary since if such a check were performed, the error
message would be downgraded to a warning in the case of SHOW
CREATE VIEW. The downgrading of errors was meant to handle
only that scenario, but could not distinguish the two as it
read only the error messages.
The special case was needed in the fix of bug no 36086.
Before that, views were confused with derived tables.
After bug no 35996 was fixed, the manipulation of errors
during SHOW CREATE VIEW execution is not dependent on the
actual error messages in the queue, it rather looks at the
actual cause of the error and takes appropriate
action. Hence the aforementioned special case is now
superfluous and the bug is fixed.
view definition
During SHOW CREATE VIEW there is no reason to 'anonymize'
errors that name objects that a user does not have access
to. Moreover it was inconsistently implemented. For example
base tables being referenced from a view appear to be ok,
but not views. The manual on the other hand is clear: If a
user has the privileges SELECT and SHOW VIEW, the view
definition is available to that user, period. The fix
changes the behavior to support the manual.
view that has Group By
Table access rights checking function check_grant() assumed
that no view is opened when it's called.
This is not true with nested views where the inner view
needs materialization. In this case the view is already
materialized when check_grant() is called for it.
This caused check_grant() to not look for table level
grants on the materialized view table.
Fixed by checking if a view is already materialized and if
it is check table level grants using the original table name
(not the ones of the materialized temp table).

statement/stored procedure
View privileges are properly checked after the fix for bug no
36086, so the method TABLE_LIST::get_db_name() must be used
instead of field TABLE_LIST::db, as this only works for tables.
Bug appears when accessing views in prepared statements.
This patch also fixes bugs 36963 and 35600.
- In many places a view was confused with an anonymous derived
table, i.e. access checking was skipped. Fixed by introducing a
predicate to tell the difference between named and anonymous
derived tables.
- When inserting fields for "SELECT * ", there was no
distinction between base tables and views, where one should be
made. View privileges are checked elsewhere.
a table name.
The problem was that fill_defined_view_parts() did not return
an error if a table is going to be altered. That happened if
the table was already in the table cache. In that case,
open_table() returned non-NULL value (valid TABLE-instance from
the cache).
The fix is to ensure that an error is thrown even if the table
is in the cache.
(This is a backport of the original patch for 5.1)
Non-definer of a view was allowed to alter that view. Due to this the alterer
can elevate his access rights to access rights of the view definer and thus
modify data which he wasn't allowed to modify. A view defined with
SQL SECURITY INVOKER can't be used directly for access rights elevation.
But a user can first alter the view SQL code and then alter the view to
SQL SECURITY DEFINER and thus elevate his access rights. Due to this
altering a view with SQL SECURITY INVOKER is also prohibited.
Now the mysql_create_view function allows ALTER VIEW only to the view
definer or a super user.
- 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;
In acl_getroot_no_password(), use a separate variable for traversing the acl_users list so that the last entry is not used when no matching entries are found.
another user.
When the DEFINER clause isn't specified in the ALTER statement then it's loaded
from the view definition. If the definer differs from the current user then
the error is thrown because only a super-user can set other users as a definers.
Now if the DEFINER clause is omitted in the ALTER VIEW statement then the
definer from the original view is used without check.
on a database.
The problem was that we required not less privileges on the base tables
than we have on the view.
The fix is to be more flexible and allow to create such a view (necessary
privileges will be checked at the runtime).
