MySQL sql_parce.cc information disclosure
| mysql-sqlparcecc-information-disclosure (26228) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
MySQL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An authenticated remote attacker sends an invalid COM_TABLE_DUMP packet to cause an error message to be returned containing portions of memory. An attacker could use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
