privileges".
The first problem was that DROP USER didn't properly remove privileges
on stored functions from in-memory structures. So the dropped user
could have called stored functions on which he had privileges before
being dropped while his connection was still around.
Even worse if a new user with the same name was created he would
inherit privileges on stored functions from the dropped user.
Similar thing happened with old user name and function privileges
during RENAME USER.
This problem stemmed from the fact that the handle_grant_data() function
which handled DROP/RENAME USER didn't take any measures to update
in-memory hash with information about function privileges after
updating them on disk.
This patch solves this problem by adding code doing just that.
The second problem was that RENAME USER didn't properly update in-memory
structures describing table-level privileges and privileges on stored
procedures. As result such privileges could have been lost after a rename
(i.e. not associated with the new name of user) and inherited by a new
user with the same name as the old name of the original user.
This problem was caused by code handling RENAME USER in
handle_grant_struct() which [sic!]:
a) tried to update wrong (tables) hash when updating stored procedure
privileges for new user name.
b) passed wrong arguments to function performing the hash update and
didn't take into account the way in which such update could have
changed the order of the hash elements.
This patch solves this problem by ensuring that a) the correct hash
is updated, b) correct arguments are used for the hash_update()
function and c) we take into account possible changes in the order
of hash elements.
Backport to 5.0.
/*![: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)*/

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.
Back-ported to 5.0s
The user-visible problem was that changes to column-level privileges,
happened in between of PREPARE and EXECUTE of a prepared statement, were
neglected. I.e. a prepared statement could be executed with the
column-level privileges as of PREPARE-time. The problem existed for
column-level privileges only.
A similar problem existed for stored programs: the changes between
executions didn't have an effect.
Technically the thing is that table references are cached in
Prepared_statement::prepare() call. In subsequent
Prepared_statement::execute() calls those cached values are used.
There are two functions to get a field by name: find_field_in_table() and
find_field_in_table_ref(). On prepare-phase find_field_in_table_ref() is
called, on execute-phase -- find_field_in_table() because the table is
cached. find_field_in_table() does not check column-level privileges and
expects the caller to do that. The problem was that this check was
forgotten.
The fix is to check them there as it happens in find_field_in_table_ref().

Problem: a flaw (derefencing a NULL pointer) in the LIKE optimization
code may lead to a server crash in some rare cases.
Fix: check the pointer before its dereferencing.
The problem is in the Item_func_isnull::update_used_tables() function,
bracket is at the wrong place. Because of that isnull item erroneously
is treated as const item. The fix is to set brackets in the right place.
Some of the server implementations don't support dates later
than 2038 due to the internal time type being 32 bit.
Added checks so that the server will refuse dates that cannot
be handled by either throwing an error when setting date at
runtime or by refusing to start or shutting down the server if
the system date cannot be stored in my_time_t.
greedy_search optimizer_search_depth=0
The algorithm inside restore_prev_nj_state failed to
properly update the counters within the NESTED_JOIN
tree. The counter was decremented each time a table in the
node was removed from the QEP, the correct thing to do being
only to decrement it when the last table in the child node
was removed from the plan. This lead to node counters
getting negative values and the plan thus appeared
impossible. An assertion caught this.
Fixed by not recursing up the tree unless the last table in
the join nest node is removed from the plan
The problem was in an incorrect debug assertion. The expression
used in the failing assertion states that when finding
references matching ORDER BY expressions, there can be only one
reference to a single table. But that does not make any sense,
all test cases for this bug are valid examples with multiple
identical WHERE expressions referencing the same table which
are also present in the ORDER BY list.
Fixed by removing the failing assertion. We also have to take
care of the 'found' counter so that we count multiple
references only once. We rely on this fact later in
eq_ref_table().
function on windows
When making sure that the directory path ends up with a
slash/backslash we need to check for the correct length of
the buffer and trim at the appropriate location so we don't
write past the end of the buffer.
The crash is the result of an attempt made by JOIN::optimize to evaluate
the WHERE condition when no records have been actually read.
The fix is to remove erroneous 'outer_join' variable check.
The crash happens because greedy_serach
can not determine best plan due to
wrong inner table dependences. These
dependences affects join table sorting
which performs before greedy_search starting.
In our case table which has real 'no dependences'
should be put on top of the list but it does not
happen as inner tables have no dependences as well.
The fix is to exclude RAND_TABLE_BIT mask from
condition which checks if table dependences
should be updated.
SET autocommit=1 while XA transaction is active may
cause various side effects, including memory corruption
and server crash.
The problem is that SET autocommit=1 and further queries
attempt to commit local transaction, whereas XA transaction
is still active.
As local and XA transactions are mutually exclusive, this
patch forbids enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction
is active.
Spatial indexes were not checking for out-of-record condition in
the handler next command when the previous command didn't found
rows.
Fixed by making the rtree index to check for end of rows condition
before re-using the key from the previous search.
Fixed another crash if the tree has changed since the last search.
Added a test case for the other error.
If an outer query is broken, a subquery might not even get set up.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED did not expect this and merrily tried to de-ref all
of the half-setup info.
We now catch this case and print as much as we have, as it doesn't cost us
anything (doesn't make regular execution slower).
backport from 5.1
When EXPLAIN EXTENDED tries to print column names, it checks whether the
referenced table is CONST (in which case, the column's value rather than
its name will be printed). If no proper table is reference (i.e. because
a derived table was used that has since gone out of scope), this will fail
spectacularly.
This ports an equivalent of the fix for Bug 43354.
column is used for ORDER BY
Problem: filesort isn't meant for null length sort data
(e.g. char(0)), that leads to a server crash.
Fix: disregard sort order if sort data record length is 0 (nothing
to sort).
In statement-based or mixed-mode replication, use DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
to drop multiple tables causes different errors on master and slave,
when one or more of these tables do not exist. Because when executed
on slave, it would automatically add IF EXISTS to the query to ignore
all ER_BAD_TABLE_ERROR errors.
To fix the problem, do not add IF EXISTS when executing DROP TEMPORARY
TABLE on the slave, and clear the ER_BAD_TABLE_ERROR error after
execution if the query does not expect any errors.
on re-execution of prepared statement
Problem: some (see eq_ref_table()) ORDER BY/GROUP BY optimization
is called before each PS execution. However, we don't properly
initialize its stucture every time before the call.
Fix: properly initialize the sturture used.
The test allowed random coincidence of connection ids for two concurrent
sessions performing CREATE/DROP temp tables.
Fixed with correcting the test. The sessions connection ids are not changed
from their defaults anymore.
