This vulnerability has been modified since it was last analyzed by the NVD. It is awaiting reanalysis which may result in further changes to the information provided.
Current Description
MySQL 5.x before 5.0.36 allows local users to cause a denial of service (database crash) by performing information_schema table subselects and using ORDER BY to sort a single-row result, which prevents certain structure elements from being initialized and triggers a NULL dereference in the filesort function.
MySQL 5.x before 5.0.37 allows local users to cause a denial of service (database crash) by using a combination of certain string functions, information_schema table subselects, and ORDER BY result sorting, which prevents certain structure elements from being initialized and triggers a NULL dereference in the filesort function.
