Bug#16056537: MYSQLD CRASHES IN ITEM_FUNC_GET_USER_VAR::FIX_LENGTH_AND_DEC()
The technical problem was that THD::user_var_events_alloc was reset to NULL from a valid value when a stored program is executed during the PREPARE statement. The user visible problem was that the server crashed if user issued a PREPARE statement using some combination of stored functions and user variables. The fix is to restore THD::user_var_events_alloc to the original value. This is a minimal fix for 5.5. More proper patch has been already implemented for 5.6+. It avoids evaluation of stored functions for the PREPARE phase. From the user point of view, this bug is a regression, introduced by the patch for WL2649 (Number-to-string conversions), revid: bar@mysql.com-20100211041725-ijbox021olab82nv However, the code resetting THD::user_var_events_alloc exists even in 5.1. The WL just changed the way arguments are converted to strings and the bug became visible.
