It happens when you are trying to read two or more log files from a
remote server using mysqlbinlog utility.

The reason for this is no matching mysql_close() that concludes the
life time of 'mysql' struct describing connection to the server.
This happens when mysqlbinlog is invoked with connecting to the server
and requesting more than one binlog file. In such case
dump_remote_log_entries() keeps calling safe_connect() per eachfile,
never caring to invoke mysql_close(). Only the final safe_connect()'s
allocation effect are cleaned by the base code.
That is with 2 files there's one 'mysql' connection descriptor struct
uncleaned/deallocated.

We are backporting the bug 21255763 (pushed in mysql-trunk)
in the earlier version of MySQL starting from 5.5 to 5.7.
which was pushed in mysql-trunk.

Fix:
Invoke mysql_close() just before mysql_init() in safe_connect()
defined in mysqlbinlog.cc. That makes possibly previously used 'mysql' be
reclaimed prior a new one is allocated.

Reverting the patch due to some issues.

ISSUE: Queries with mediumint as column when operated with
long long type of data results in buffer overflow in
store_long function.

The merging rule specified for (MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG
MYSQL_TYPE_INT24) is MYSQL_TYPE_LONG. Due to this store_long
function was getting called which resulted in buffer overflow.

SOLUTION:
The correct merging rule for (MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG,
MYSQL_TYPE_INT24) should be MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG.
So, instead of function store_long, function store_longlong
is called which correctly handles the type MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG.

External Bug #23645238 is a duplicate of this issue.

               DERIVED TABLE IN JOIN

ISSUE:
------
This problem occurs under the following conditions:
1) A parameter is used in the select-list of a derived table.
2) The derived table is part of a JOIN.

SOLUTION:
---------
When a derived table is materialized, a temporary table is
created. This temporary table creates a field each for the
items in the select-list of the derived table. This set of
fields is later used to setup the join.

Currently no field is created in the temporary table if a
parameter is used in the select-list.

Create a field for the parameter. By default Item_param's
result type in a prepared statement is set to
STRING_RESULT. This can change during the execute phase
depending on the user variable. But since the execute phase
creates its own temporary table, it will be handled
separately.

This is a backport of the fix for BUG#22392374.

Problem:
In debug builds, there is a chance that an out-of-bounds
read is performed when tables are locked in
LTM_PRELOCKED_UNDER_LOCK_TABLES mode. It can happen because
the debug code uses enum values as index for an array of
mode descriptions, but it only takes into consideration 3
out of 4 of the enum values.

Fix:
This patch fixes it by implementing a getter for the enum which
returns a string representation of the enum,
effectively removing the out-of-bounds read.

Moreover, it also fixes the lock mode descriptions that
would be print out in debug builds.

Commit#ebd24626 obsoleted the THREAD and
THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor symbols. This is not removed in the
sql/net_serv.cc thereby the code that retries on EINTR became dead code.
Remove the THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor directive form sql/net_serv.cc.
Also check errno for EINTR only if there is an error in preceding read call.

               GET_SERVER_FROM_TABLE_TO_CACHE

Description:- Server received SIG11 in the function,
"get_server_from_table_to_cache()".

Analysis:- Defining a server with a blank name is not
handled properly.

Fix:- Modified "get_server_from_table_to_cache()" to
take care of blank server name.

               FROM I_S

Issue:
------
There is a difference in the field type created when the
following DDLs are used:

1) CREATE TABLE t0 AS SELECT NULL;
2) CREATE TABLE t0 AS SELECT GREATEST(NULL,NULL);

The first statement creates field of type Field_string and
the second one creates a field of type Field_null.

This creates a problem when the query mentioned in this bug
is used. Since the null_ptr is calculated differently for
Field_null.

Solution:
---------
When there is a function returning null in the select list
as mentioned above, the field should be of type
Field_string.

This was fixed in 5.6+ as part of Bug#14021323. This is a
backport to mysql-5.5.

An incorrect comment in innodb_bug54044.test has been
corrected in all versions.

	      ASSERTION `0' FAILED ON SELECT AREA

Problem:
Optimizer tries to get the points to calculate area without
checking the return value of uint4korr for 0 "points". As a
result server exits.

Solution:
Check the return value from uint4korr().

Remove mysql_config from client sub-package

Remove mysql_config from client sub-package

                MY_TOSORT_UTF32

This patch is specific for mysql-5.5

ISSUE: When a charater that is larger than possible to
handle is passed to function my_tosort_utf32(), it results
in segmentation fault. In the scenario mentioned in the bug
AES_ENCRYPT function is used which returns large value.
This value is further passed to my_tosort_utf32 function.
This causes to cross array bound for array uni_plane,
resulting in segment violation.

SOLUTION:
This issue has got addressed in 5.6 onward releases
through worklog 2673.

The fix is similar backport of that.
Check for maximum character before accessing the array
uni_plane. In addition to function my_tosort_utf32, the
same potential problem is also present in functions
my_tolower_utf16, my_toupper_utf16, my_tosort_utf16,
my_tolower_utf32, my_toupper_utf32, my_tosort_unicode,
my_tolower_utf8mb4 and my_toupper_utf8mb4.
Fixed these functions as well.

Permanently removed test case perfschema.aggregate.

The Performance Schema is generally lock-free, allowing for
race conditions that might arise from multi-threaded operation
which occasionally results in temporary and/or minor variances
when aggregating statistics. This test needs to be redesigned
to accommodate such variances.

               MYSQL-5.5

The bug asks for a backport of bug#1463594 and bug#20682959. This
is required because of the fact that if replication is enabled, master
transaction can commit whereas slave can't commit due to not exact
'enviroment'. This manifestation is seen in bug#22024200.

Fix is a backport of BUG#18518216/72230 to MySQL 5.5 and 5.6.

Will also resolve:

 BUG#23605713/81384 LIBMYSQLCLIENT.SO.18 MISSING FROM MYSQL 5.7

 BUG#23088014/80981 LIBS-COMPAT RPMS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER SUBPACKAGES

  due to less strict coupling between -libs-compat and -common package.

DESCRIPTION
===========
Buffer overflow is reported in Regex library. This can be
triggered when the data corresponding to argv[1] is >=
512 bytes resutling in abnormal behaviour.

ANALYSIS
========
Its a straight forward case of SEGFAULT where the target
buffer is smaller than the source string to be copied.
A simple pre-copy validation should do.

FIX
===
A check is added before doing strcpy() to ensure that the
target buffer is big enough to hold the to-be copied data.
If the check fails, the program aborts.

              ERROR MESSAGE

Post push patch to fix test case failure.

              ERROR MESSAGE

Description:- Mtr test, "main.mysqldump" is failing with an
assert when "mysqlimport" client utility is executed with
the option "--use_threads".

Analysis:- "mysqlimport" uses the option, "--use_threads",
to spawn worker threads to complete its job in parallel. But
currently the main thread is not waiting for the worker
threads to complete its cleanup, rather just wait for the
worker threads to say its done doing its job. So the cleanup
is done in a race between the worker threads and the main
thread. This lead to an assertion failure.

Fix:- "my_thread_join()" is introduced in the main thread to
join all the worker threads it have spawned. This will let
the main thread to wait for all the worker threads to
complete its cleanup before calling "my_end()".

               NAME_CONST QUERY

ISSUE:
------
Using NAME_CONST with a non-constant negated expression as
value can result in incorrect behavior.

SOLUTION:
---------
The problem can be avoided by checking whether the argument
is a constant value.

The fix is a backport of Bug#12735545.

Remove mysql_config from client package to avoid conflict (file
shipped in devel package any way).

Description:
This issue doesn't effect any default installation of repo rpms if user uses
init scripts that are shipped as part of package but will have trouble if
user tries to createdb or start server manually.

After installing mysql-server from repository(yum,zypper) /var/log/mysqld.log
is created with logged in user and group permissions instead of with mysql
user and group permissions,due to which while creating database or starting
server, it is failing

Fix:

Updated the user and group permissions of the /var/log/mysqld.log and
/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log (for sles) files to mysql.

              THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS

ANALYSIS:
=========
Stored functions updating a view where the view table has a
trigger defined that updates another table, fails reporting
an error that the table doesn't exist.

If there is a trigger defined on a table, a variable
'trg_event_map' will be set to a non-zero value after the
parsed tree creation. This indicates what triggers we need to
pre-load for the TABLE_LIST when opening an associated table.

During the prelocking phase, the variable 'trg_event_map'
will not be set for the view table. This value will be set
after the processing of triggers defined on the table. During
the processing of sub-statements, 'locked_tables_mode' will be
set to 'LTM_PRELOCKED' which denotes that further locking
of tables/functions cannot be done. This results in the other
table not being locked and thus further processing results in
an error getting reported.

FIX:
====
During the prelocking of view, the value of 'trg_event_map'
of the view is copied to 'trg_event_map' of the next table
in the TABLE_LIST. This results in the locking of tables
associated with the trigger as well.

This fix results in a deadlock between slave IO thread
and SQL thread.

(cherry picked from commit e3fea6c6dbb36c6ab21c4ab777224560e9608b53)

DESCRIPTION
===========
Buffer overflow is reported in a lot of code sections
spanning across server, client programs, Regex libraries
etc. If not handled appropriately, they can cause abnormal
behaviour.

ANALYSIS
========
The reported casea are the ones which are likely to result
in SEGFAULT, MEMORY LEAK etc.

FIX
===
- sprintf() has been replaced by my_snprintf() to avoid
buffer overflow.
- my_free() is done after checking if the pointer isn't
  NULL already and setting it to NULL thereafter at few
  places.
- Buffer is ensured to be large enough to hold the data.
- 'unsigned int' (aka 'uint') is replaced with 'size_t'
to avoid wraparound.
- Memory is freed (if not done so) after its alloced and
used.
- Inserted assert() for size check in InnoDb memcached
code (from 5.6 onwards)
- Other minor changes

INSERTS/UPDATES ON TEMPORARY TABLES
Bug#14294223: CHANGES NOT ALLOWED TO TEMPORARY TABLES ON
READ-ONLY SERVERS

Problem:
========
Running 5.5.14 in read only we can create temporary tables
but can not insert or update records in the table. When we
try we get Error 1290 : The MySQL server is running with the
--read-only option so it cannot execute this statement.

Analysis:
=========
This bug is very specific to binlog being enabled and
binlog-format being stmt/mixed. Standalone server without
binlog enabled or with row based binlog-mode works fine.

How standalone server and row based replication work:
=====================================================
Standalone server and row based replication mark the
transactions as read_write only when they are modifying
non temporary tables as part of their current transaction.

Because of this when code enters commit phase it checks
if a transaction is read_write or not. If the transaction
is read_write and global read only mode is enabled those
transaction will fail with 'server is read only mode'
error.

In the case of statement based mode at the time of writing
to binary log a binlog handler is created and it is always
marked as read_write. In case of temporary tables even
though the engine did not mark the transaction as read_write
but the new transaction that is started by binlog handler is
considered as read_write.

Hence in this case when code enters commit phase it finds
one handler which has a read_write transaction even when
we are modifying temporary table. This causes the server
to throw an error when global read-only mode is enabled.

Fix:
====
At the time of commit in "ha_commit_trans" if a read_write
transaction is found, we should check if this transaction is
coming from a handler other than binlog_handler. This will
ensure that there is a genuine read_write transaction being
sent by the engine apart from binlog_handler and only then
it should be blocked.

Post push fix : Fixing i_main.mysqlshow failure.

              INCORRECT ERROR.

Analysis
========
INSERT with DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and REPLACE on a table
where foreign key constraint is defined fails with an
incorrect 'duplicate entry' error rather than foreign
key constraint violation error.

As part of the bug fix for BUG#22037930, a new flag
'HA_CHECK_FK_ERROR' was added while checking for non fatal
errors to manage FK errors based on the 'IGNORE' flag. For
INSERT with DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and REPLACE queries, the
foreign key constraint violation error was marked as non-fatal,
even though IGNORE was not set. Hence it continued with the
duplicate key processing resulting in an incorrect error.

Fix:
===
Foreign key violation errors are treated as non fatal only when
the IGNORE is not set in the above mentioned queries. Hence reports
the appropriate foreign key violation error.

ANALYSIS:
=========
A LEX_STRING structure pointer is processed during the
validation of a stored program name. During this processing,
there is a possibility of null pointer dereference.

FIX:
====
check_routine_name() is invoked by the parser by supplying a
non-empty string as the SP name. To avoid any potential calls
to check_routine_name() with NULL value, a debug assert has
been added to catch such cases.

FAILURES

Analysis:
=========
Test script is not ensuring that "assert_grep.inc" should be
called only after 'Disk is full' error is written to the
error log.

Test checks for "Queueing master event to the relay log"
state. But this state is set before invoking 'queue_event'.
Actual 'Disk is full' error happens at a very lower level.
It can happen that we might even reset the debug point
before even the actual disk full simulation occurs and the
"Disk is full" message will never appear in the error log.

In order to guarentee that we must have some mechanism where
in after we write "Disk is full" error messge into the error
log we must signal the test to execute SSS and then reset
the debug point. So that test is deterministic.

Fix:
===
Added debug sync point to make script deterministic.
