Synopsis
========

Background
==========
MySQL is a popular open-source multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database
server.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the MySQL process, cause a Denial of
Service condition, bypass security restrictions, uninstall arbitrary
MySQL plugins, or conduct Man-in-the-Middle and Cross-Site Scripting
attacks.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
