2008-10-15 CVE-2008-4577 Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in multiple products

2008-09-18 CVE-2008-4098 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory.
