Description
The issue is related to errors in the code of the MySQL database management system. It can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt availability by affecting the server. The vulnerability allows a local user to affect availability via vectors related to Options. Successful attacks can result in the unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the MySQL Server.
