Title:	MySQL buffer overflow
Summary:	You are running a version of MySQL which is older than 4.0.21.;;MySQL is a database which runs on both Linux/BSD and Windows platform.;This version is vulnerable to a length overflow within it's;mysql_real_connect() function. The overflow is due to an error in the;processing of a return Domain (DNS) record. An attacker, exploiting;this flaw, would need to control a DNS server which would be queried;by the MySQL server. A successful attack would give the attacker;the ability to execute arbitrary code on the remote machine.
