    descriptionA special crafted MySQL FTS request can cause the server to crash. Malicious MySQL users can abuse this bug in a denial of service attack against systems running an affected MySQL daemon. Note that because this bug is related to the parsing of requests, it may happen that this bug is triggered accidentally by a user when he or she makes a typo.

    descriptionYou are running a version of MySQL which is older than version 4.0.21. Such versions are potentially affected by two flaws : - There is an unauthorized database GRANT privilege vulnerability, which may allow an attacker to misuse the GRANT privilege it has been given and to use it against other databases. (CVE-2004-0957) - A denial of service vulnerability may be triggered by the misuse of the FULLTEXT search functionality. (CVE-2004-0956)
