**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** MySQL versions 5.0 through 5.0.91 MySQL versions 5.1 prior to 5.1.47 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming CPU and bandwidth. This is achieved by sending a large number of packets that exceed the maximum length, exploiting the `my net skip rest` function in `sql/net serv.cc`. **Recommendations** For MySQL versions 5.0 through 5.0.91, update to a version later than 5.0.91 to resolve the issue. For MySQL versions 5.1 prior to 5.1.47, update to version 5.1.47 or later to resolve the issue.
