CVE-2010-3835  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade mysql to version 5.1.51, 5.5.6 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). MySQL 5.1 before 5.1.51 and 5.5 before 5.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (mysqld server crash) by performing a user-variable assignment in a logical expression that is calculated and stored in a temporary table for GROUP BY, then causing the expression value to be used after the table is created, which causes the expression to be re-evaluated instead of accessing its value from the table.
