CVE-2006-7232
Description
From CVE.org
sql_select.cc in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.32 and 5.1.x before 5.1.14 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an EXPLAIN SELECT FROM on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA table, as originally demonstrated using ORDER BY.
Statement
This issue did not affect the MySQL packages as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, and 4 as they did not support INFORMATION_SCHEMA, introduced in MySQL version 5.
The MySQL packages as shipped in Red Hat Application Stack v1 and v2 are based on upstream version which has the fix included.
