NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mysql package and not the mysql package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Oracle MySQL 5.5.38 and earlier, 5.6.19 and earlier, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.
