Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions
through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows
remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption
and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using
certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW
FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE,
(8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12)
SET PASSWORD commands.
