Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Stack-based buffer overflow in the init_syms function in MySQL 4.0 before 4.0.25, 4.1 before 4.1.13, and 5.0 before 5.0.7-beta allows remote authenticated users who can create user-defined functions to execute arbitrary code via a long function_name field.
