NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mysql package and not the mysql package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

MySQL before 5.0.25 and 5.1 before 5.1.12 evaluates arguments of suid routines in the security context of the routine's definer instead of the routine's caller, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges through a routine that has been made available using GRANT EXECUTE.
