It was discovered that certain builds of MySQL incorrectly handled password
authentication on certain platforms. A remote attacker could use this issue
to authenticate with an arbitrary password and establish a connection.
(CVE-2012-2122)
MySQL has been updated to 5.5.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.1.63. A patch to
fix the issue was backported to the version of MySQL in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.
