MySQL 5.5.8 Null Ptr (windows)
This exploit is a buffer overflow vulnerability in MySQL 5.5.8 on Windows. It allows an attacker to send a specially crafted packet to the MySQL server, which will cause a null pointer dereference and crash the server. The exploit is triggered by sending two specially crafted packets to the MySQL server, the first packet contains a null byte followed by a 4 byte integer, and the second packet contains a specially crafted string. The exploit is triggered when the server attempts to process the second packet.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of MySQL, or apply the patch provided by the vendor.
