During REPAIR TABLE of a MyISAM table, a temporary data file (.TMD) is created. When repair finishes, this file is renamed to the original .MYD file. The problem was that during this rename, we copied the stats from the old file to the new file with chmod/chown. If a user managed to replace the temporary file before chmod/chown was executed, it was possible to get an arbitrary file with the privileges of the mysql user. This patch fixes the problem by not copying stats from the old file to the new file. This is not needed as the new file was created with the correct stats. This fix only changes server behavior - external utilities such as myisamchk still does chmod/chown. No test case provided since the problem involves synchronization with file system operations.
