UPPER CASE HOST NAME ANYMORE
Description:
It is not possible to drop users with host names with upper case
letters in them. i.e DROP USER 'root'@'Tmp_Host_Name'; is failing
with error.
Analysis: Since the fix 11748570 we came up with lower case hostnames
as standard. But in the current bug the hostname is created by
mysql_install_db script is still having upper case hostnames.
So, if we have the hostname with upper case letters like(Tmp_Host_Name)
then we will have as it is stored in the mysql.user table.
In this case if use "'DROP USER 'root'@'Tmp_Host_Name';" it gives
error because we do compare with the lower case of hostname since the
11748570 fix.
Fix: We need to convert the hostname to lower case before storing into
the mysql.user table when we run the mysql_install_db script.
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
- temporary tables now works
- mysql-system_tables updated to not use temporary tables
- PASSWORD() function fixed
- Support for STATS_AUTO_RECALC, STATS_PERSISTENT and STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES table options
HOST HAS '_' IN THE HOSTNAME
Problem:
=======
'_' and '%' are treated as a wildcards by the ACL code and
this is documented in the manual. The problem with
mysql_install_db is that it does not take this into account
when creating the initial GRANT tables:
--- cut ---
REPLACE INTO tmp_user SELECT @current_hostname,'root','','Y',
'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y',
'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',
0,0,0,0 FROM dual WHERE LOWER( @current_hostname) != 'localhost';
--- cut ---
If @current_hostname contains any wildcard characters, then
a wildcard entry will be defined for the 'root' user,
which is a flaw.
Analysis:
========
As per the bug description when we have a hostname with a
wildcard character in it, it allows clients from several other
hosts with similar name pattern to connect to the server as root.
For example, if the hostname is like 'host_.com' then the same
name is logged in mysql.user table. This allows 'root' users
from other hosts like 'host1.com', 'host2.com' ... to connect
to the server as root user.
While creating the intial GRANT tables we do not have a check
for wildcard characters in hostname.
Fix:
===
As part of fix escape character "\" is added before wildcard
character to make it a plain character, so that the one and
only host with the exact name will be able to connect to the
server.
scripts/mysql_system_tables_data.sql:
while creating default users get the hostname and
replace the wildcard characters within the hostname after
escaping them.

Machines with hostname set to "localhost" cause uniqueness errors in
the SQL bootstrap data.
Now, insert zero lines for cases where the (lowercased) hostname is
the same as an already-inserted 'localhost' name. Also, fix a few tests
that expect certain local accounts to have a certain host name.
Fix is to remove any references to the current hostname when running
mysql_install_db --cross-bootstrap. (The dist-hook make target makes
this call, and the resulting data directory is included in the source
distribution as win/data/*.)
Also, a few other clean-ups to mysql_install_db while there.
Makefile.am:
Adapt to clean-up in mysql_install_db (--windows becomes --cross-bootstrap)
scripts/mysql_install_db.sh:
Filter out references to the current hostname when performing
a cross-bootstrap installation by removing any lines which
contain the string "@current_hostname".
Deprecate the old --windows option; use --cross-bootstrap
instead, since it more accurately reflects the purpose.
Other clean-up: the wrong syntax was being used to test the
exit status of mysqld --bootstrap. It mostly worked, as long
as mysqld succeeded. However, it was not robust.
scripts/mysql_system_tables_data.sql:
Rename local @hostname variable to @current_hostname, which is a more
unique label to search on. mysql_install_db now filters out all
lines which include "@current_hostname" during a --cross-bootstrap
installation.

were accidentally removed during a previous rototill of this
code. Fixes bug#27692.
While it can be argued we should strive to provide a 'secure by
default' installation, this happens to be the setup currently
documented in the manual as the default, so defer changes that
improve security out of the box to a co-ordinated effort later
on.
For now, make a note about the test databases and anonymous user
in mysql_install_db and recommend that mysql_secure_installation
be ran for users wishing to remove these defaults.
[..re-commit of previously lost change..]
scripts/mysql_system_tables_data.sql:
Add anonymous accounts.
scripts/mysql_install_db.sh:
Point users at the mysql_secure_installation script.
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
Add a comment where removing anonymous users.
- Use a local uservariable to avoid @@hostname in binlog
scripts/mysql_system_tables_data.sql:
Load @@hostname into a local user variable to avoid
writing @@hostname to the binary log that potentially
would be replicated to a slave server that not yet was upgraded
to have @@hostname.
