DoS exploit on SuSE Linux 5.5.19-log
This exploit uses the Net::MySQL module to connect to a MySQL server and send a command with a malformed packet. This causes the server to crash and the connection to be terminated.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all MySQL servers are running the latest version of the software and that all security patches are applied.
