DB: Oracle MySQL Database COM_FIELD_LIST Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in MySQL database server. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
MySQL is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An authenticated attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to MySQL 5.1.47 are vulnerable.
