CVE-2002-1374  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade mysql to version 3.23.54, 4.0.6 or higher.

Overview

The COM_CHANGE_USER command in MySQL 3.x before 3.23.54, and 4.x before 4.0.6, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a brute force attack using a one-character password, which causes MySQL to only compare the provided password against the first character of the real password.
