WARNING

mysql-5.0 in RHEL5 is no longer receiving any updates or security errata. There are a large number of outstanding security issues present which mean that it cannot be adequately secured on its own.

From https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-Migrating_from_MySQL_5.0_to_MySQL_5.5.html
Red Hat will not issue any more security advisories for the MySQL 5.0 packages (mysql-5.0.* and related packages). Security advisories will be provided only for MySQL 5.5.
