**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MySQL Server versions 4.1 before 4.1.21
MySQL Server versions 5.0 before 5.0.21
**Description**
A format string issue in the time.cc component allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service by providing a format string instead of a date as the first parameter to the `date format` function. This input is later used in a formatted print call to display an error message, leading to a potential crash.
**Recommendations**
For MySQL Server versions 4.1 before 4.1.21, update to version 4.1.21 or later.
For MySQL Server versions 5.0 before 5.0.21, update to version 5.0.21 or later.
