Bug#18790730 - CROSS-DATABASE FOREIGN KEY WITHOUT PERMISSIONS
CHECK. Analysis: ---------- Issue here is, while creating or altering the InnoDB table, if the foreign key defined on the table references a parent table on which the user has no access privileges then the table is created without reporting any error. Currently the privilege level REFERENCES_ACL is unused and is not used for access evaluation while creating the table with a foreign key constraint or adding the foreign key constraint to a table. But when no privileges are granted to user then also access evaluation on parent table is ignored. Fix: --------- For DMLs, irrelevant of the fact, support does not want any changes to avoid permission checks on every operation. So, as a fix, added a function "check_fk_parent_table_access" to check whether any of the SELECT_ACL, INSERT_ACL, UDPATE_ACL, DELETE_ACL or REFERENCE_ACL privileges are granted for user at table level. If none of them is granted then error is reported. This function is called during the table creation and alter operation.
