DB: MySQL USE Command Denial of Service

This signature detects a maliciously crafted USE command, containing a printer device-name, sent to a MySQL server daemon. Such a command could trigger a denial-of-service condition to occur on the destination host.

Extended Description

Zlib is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate input data before using it in a memory copy operation. In certain circumstances, malformed input data during decompression may cause a memory buffer to overflow. This may result in denial-of-service conditions or may allow remote code to execute in the context of applications that use the affected library.
