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

  - It is possible, by creating a partitioned table using 
    the DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options, to gain 
    privileges on other tables having the same name as the 
    partitioned table. (Bug #32091)

  - Using RENAME TABLE against a table with explicit DATA
    DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options can be used to
    overwrite system table information. (Bug #32111).

  - ALTER VIEW retains the original DEFINER value, even 
    when altered by another user, which can allow that 
    user to gain the access rights of the view. (Bug
    #29908)

  - When using a FEDERATED table, the local server can be 
    forced to crash if the remote server returns a result 
    with fewer columns than expected. (Bug #29801)");
