When building RPMs and using the "rpmbuild" automatic scanning for
Perl dependencies, it might interpret "use hostnames" in the
"mysql_config.pl" script usage comment as a Perl "use" statement.
And then makes the resulting RPMs depends on a non-existing module
Perl "hostnames". The comment was changed to prevent this.

Description:
  Using correct length when moving to next field in cmp_ref. The store
length already includes the length bytes of blobs, which is already considered
earlier for blob types.

Issue :
-------
This seems for some platform -(LONGLONG_MIN) is
not flagged as out of range.

Fix:
----
Fix is backported from mysql-5.6 bug 14314156.
Fixed by adding an explicit test for this value in
Item_func_neg::int_op().

The debug configuration parameter innodb_optimistic_insert_debug
which was introduced for testing corner cases in B-tree handling
had a bug in it. The value 1 would trigger an infinite sequence
of page splits.

Fix: When the value 1 is specified, disable this debug feature.

Problem:

In the function dict_foreign_remove_from_cache(), the rb tree was updated
without actually verifying whether the given foreign key object is there in the
rb tree or not.  There can be an existing foreign key object with the same id 
in the rb tree, which must not be removed.  Such a scenario comes when an
attempt is made to add a foreign key object with a duplicate identifier.

Solution:

When the foreign key object is removed from the dictionary cache, ensure
that the foreign key object removed from the rbt is the correct one.

Description:- Replace, the string replacement utility fails
on the windows platform.

Analysis:- The utility takes files and multiple string
pairs as input. In the windows platform, the utility maps
the standard input incorrectly (Considers 0 as the fd for
standard input instead of 2048 on windows). Hence when the
input file is supplied to the utility due to the incorrect
mapping, a bad file descriptor error is generated causing
the utility to exit with an error.

Fix:- "my_fileno()" is used for getting the correct file
despscriptor for standard input.

some of the tables are created in InnoDB and some tables are created in MyISAM.
We need to create all tables on InnoDB.  Fix is to add engine=innodb to the
CREATE TABLE statements.

Description: Certain operations using the client tool
'mysql\_setpermisson' which uses username of the format 
"xxx-yyy" results in a syntax error.

Analysis: The user name variable ( $user ) was not quoted
properly in the 'mysql\_setpermission' script. As a result,
while granting user privileges for a user with username of
the format 'xxx-yyy', results in a syntax error.

Fix: The escape sequence has been applied for the user
variable in the script file.

Note: Test case is not added for this fix.
'mysql\_setpermission' executable resides in different
directories on pb2 machines and on local boxes. Hence the 
test case cannot be made generic.

Problem: For every event read, mysqlbinlog calls localtime() which in turn
calls stat(/etc/localtime) which is causing kernel mutex contention.

Analysis and Fix:
localtime() calls stat(/etc/localtime) for every instance of the call
where as localtime_r() the reentrant version was optimized to store
the read only tz internal structure. Hence it will not call
stat(/etc/localtime). It will call only once at the beginning.
The mysql server is calling localtime_r() and mysqlbinlog tool is
one place where we are still using localtime().

Once the process (mysqlbinlog) is started if timezone is changed
it will be not picked up the the process and it will continue
with the same values as the beginning of the process. This
behavior is in-lined with mysql server.

Also adding localtime_r() and gmtime_r() support for windows.

Problem:
========
In a master slave replication if a slave receives a
Start_log_event_v3 the payload is expected to be of fixed
size. If a payload which is smaller than the fixed size is
received it causes a read out of bounds issue.

Analysis:
========
According to documentation the fixed data part of
Start_log_event_v3 looks as shown below.

2 bytes: The binary log format version
50 bytes: The MySQL server's version
4 bytes: Timestamp in seconds when this event was created

Since the payload is expected to be of fixed size, therefore
ST_SERVER_VER_LEN (50) bytes are memcpy'ed into
server_version. But if a malicious master sends a shorter
payload it causes a read out of bounds issue.

Fix:
===
In Start_log_event_v3 event's constructor a check has been
added which expects the minimum payload length to be of size
common_header_len + ST_COMMON_HEADER_LEN_OFFSET bytes. If a
malicious packet of lesser length is received it will be
considered as an invalid event.

 - Restarting mysqld with --expire-log-days=1 triggers 'log_in_use()' to be called while current_thd is NULL.
 - Check current_thd before calling DEBUG_SYNC() to avoid passing NULL pointer to DEBUG_SYNC()

Normally, SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN is used by DBAs to run a
non-conflicting command locally only, ensuring it does not
get replicated.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN would not require all sessions to
disconnect. When SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally, it does not
immediately take effect for any sessions. It takes effect by
becoming the session-level default inherited at the start of
each new session, and this setting is kept and cached for the
duration of that session. Setting it intentionally is unlikely
to have a useful effect under any circumstance; setting it
unintentionally, such as while intending to use SET [SESSION]
is potentially disastrous. Accidentally using SET GLOBAL
SQL_LOG_BIN will not show an immediate effect to the user,
instead not having the desired session-level effect, and thus
causing other potential problems with local-only maintenance
being binlogged and executed on slaves; And transactions from
new sessions (after SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally) are not
binlogged and replicated, which would result in irrecoverable
or difficult data loss.
This is the regular GLOBAL variables way to work, but in
replication context it does not look right on a working server
(with connected sessions) 'set global sql_log_bin' and none of
that connections is affected. Unexperienced DBA after noticing
that the command did "nothing" will change the session var and
most probably won't unset the global var, causing new sessions
to not be binlog.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN allows DBA to stop binlogging on all
new sessions, which can be used to make a server "replication
read-only" without restarting the server. But this has such big
requirements, stop all existing connections, that it is more
likely to make a mess, it is too risky to allow the GLOBAL variable.

The statement 'SET GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN=N' will produce an error
in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. Reading the GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN will produce
a deprecation warning in 5.7.

FROM A FUNCTION

Scenario:

In a stored procedure, CREATE TABLE statement is not allowed.  But an
exception is provided for CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE.  We can create a temporary
table in a stored procedure.

Let there be two stored functions f1 and f2 and two stored procedures p1 and
p2.  Their properties are as follows:

. stored function f1() calls stored procedure p1().
. stored function f2() calls stored procedure p2().
. stored procedure p1() creates temporary table t1.
. stored procedure p2() does DML on t1.

Consider the following situation:

1.  Autocommit mode is on. 
2.  select f1()
3.  select f2()

Step 2:  In this step, t1 would be created via p1().  A table level transaction
lock would have been taken.  The ::external_lock() would not have been called
on this table.  At the end of step 2, because of autocommit mode on, this table
level lock will be released.

Step 3:  When we execute DML on table t1 via p2() we have two problems:

Problem 1:

The function ha_innobase::external_lock() would have been called but since
it is a select query no table level locks would have been taken.  Hence the
following assert will fail:

ut_ad(lock_table_has(thr_get_trx(thr), index->table, LOCK_IX));

Solution:

The solution would be to identify this situation and take a table level lock
and use the proper lock type prebuilt->select_lock_type = LOCK_X for DML
operations.

Problem 2:

Another problem is that in step 3, ha_innobase::open() is never called on
the table t1.  

Solution:

The solution would be to identify this situation and call re-init the handler
of table t1.

Problem:

Creation of a table fails when innodb_strict_mode is enabled, but the same
table is created without any warning when innodb_strict_mode is enabled.

Solution:

If creation of a table fails with an error when innodb_strict_mode is
enabled, it must issue a warning when innodb_strict_mode is disabled.

                AND IS_USED_LOCK().

Analysis:
-----------
In functions Item_func_is_free_lock::val_int() and 
Item_func_is_used_lock::val_int(), for the specified user lock
name, pointer to its "User_level_lock" object is obtained from hash
"hash_user_locks". Mutex "LOCK_user_locks" is acquired for this
and released immediately. And we are accessing members of
User_level_lock after releasing the mutex. If same user lock is
deleted(released) from concurrent thread then accessing members
results in invalid(freed) memory access issue.

Deleting of user lock is also protected from the mutex
"LOCK_user_locks". Since this mutex is released in "val_int" 
functions mentioned above, delete operation proceeds while concurrent
thread tries to access its members.

With the test case, valgrind reports invalid read issues in val_int
functions.

Fix:
-----------
To fix this issue, in "val_int" function of classes
"Item_func_is_free_lock" and "Item_func_is_used_lock", now releasing
mutex "LOCK_user_locks" after accessing User_level_lock members.

               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. 

      
      Problem: A corrupted header length in FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_LOG_EVENT
      can cause server to crash.
      Analysis: FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT will be considered invalid if
      header len is too small (i.e. below OLD_HEADER_LEN).
      
      Format_description_log_event:: Format_description_log_event(...)
      {
        ...
        if ((common_header_len=buf[ST_COMMON_HEADER_LEN_OFFSET]) < OLD_HEADER_LEN)
          DBUG_VOID_RETURN; /* sanity check */
        ...
        post_header_len= my_memdup(...)
      }
      
      In that case Format_description_log_event constructor will return early,
      without allocating any memory for post_header_len. Thence this variable is
      left uninitialized and making server to crash when server is trying
      to free the uninitialized value.
      
      Fix: When Format_description_log_event constructor returns early, assign
      NULL to post_header_len.
