 Package : mysql
 Date    : July 19, 2008
 Affected: 2008.1

 Problem Description:

 Sergei Golubchik found that MySQL did not properly validate optional
 data or index directory paths given in a CREATE TABLE statement; as
 well it would not, under certain conditions, prevent two databases
 from using the same paths for data or index files.  This could allow
 an authenticated user with appropriate privilege to create tables in
 one database to read and manipulate data in tables later created in
 other databases, regardless of GRANT privileges (CVE-2008-2079).

 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
