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 5.x before 5.0.36 allows local users to cause a denial of service (database crash) by performing information_schema table subselects and using ORDER BY to sort a single-row result, which prevents certain structure elements from being initialized and triggers a NULL dereference in the filesort function.
