Bug#16900358 FIX FOR CVE-2012-5611 IS INCOMPLETE
Description: Fix for bug CVE-2012-5611 (bug 67685) is incomplete. The ACL_KEY_LENGTH-sized buffers in acl_get() and check_grant_db() can be overflown by up to two bytes. That's probably not enough to do anything more serious than crashing mysqld. Analysis: In acl_get() when "copy_length" is calculated it just adding the variable lengths. But when we are using them with strmov() we are adding +1 to each. This will lead to a three byte buffer overflow (i.e two +1's at strmov() and one byte for the null added by strmov() function). Similarly it happens for check_grant_db() function as well. Fix: We need to add "+2" to "copy_length" in acl_get() and "+1" to "copy_length" in check_grant_db().
