"The version of MySQL installed on the remote host reportedly is
affected by several issues :

  - Evaluation of an 'IN()' predicate with a decimal-valued
    argument causes a service crash.

  - A user can rename a table even though he does not have 
    DROP privileges.

  - If a stored routine is declared as 'SQL SECURITY INVOKER', 
    a user may be able to gain privileges by invoking that 
    routine.

  - A user with only ALTER privileges on a partitioned table
    can discover information about the table that should 
    require SELECT privileges.");
