MDEV-20751 Permission Issue With Nested CTEs
Due to this bug the server reported bogus messages about lack of SELECT privileges for base tables used in the specifications of CTE tables. It happened only if such a CTE were referred to at least twice. For any non-recursive reference to CTE that is not primary the specification of the CTE is cloned. The function check_table_access() is called for such reference. The function checks privileges of the tables referenced in the specification. As no name resolution was performed for CTE references whose definitions occurred outside the specification before the call of check_table_access() that was supposed to check the access rights of the underlying tables these references were considered as references to base tables rather than references to CTEs. Yet for CTEs as well as for derived tables no privileges are needed and thus cannot be granted. The patch ensures proper name resolution of all references to CTEs before any acl checks.
