MySql Anonimous Login Memory Leak

MySql Anonymous Login Memory Leak is a vulnerability in MySql versions 5.0.20 and 4.1.x which allows an attacker to leak memory from the server. This exploit was discovered by Stefano Di Paola in 2006 and was published in a paper titled 'my_anon_db_leak.c'. The exploit is written in C and can be compiled with gcc. It can be used to send a malicious packet to the server and receive a response containing leaked memory.

Mitigation:

MySql should be updated to the latest version to patch this vulnerability.
