A new stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was released on Full Disclosure yesterday for MySQL. Depending of the user privileges, the flaw can cause MySQL to enumerate users, crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running MySQL. The following CVEs have been assigned to track this MySQL vulnerability:

I tried the Linux vulnerabilities against my own server this morning (CET time zone).
All of them (including the Windows vulns) require that the sysadmin did not the proper job to setup MySQL server and/or the firewall protecting it. The vulns are there and must be fixed, but the chances that someone could use them against a well protected and properly configured MySQL server are extremely low. |

Dec 6, 2012 - "... MySQL Database is famous for its high performance, high reliability and ease of use. It runs on both Windows and many non-Windows platforms like UNIX, Mac OS, Solaris, IBM AIX, etc. It has been the fastest growing application and the choice of big companies such as Facebook, Google, and Adobe among others. Given its popularity, cybercriminals and other attackers are definitely eyeing this platform..." . |
