Bug#37908: Skipped access right check caused server crash.
The check_table_access function initializes per-table grant info and performs access rights check. It wasn't called for SHOW STATUS statement thus left grants info uninitialized. In some cases this led to server crash. In other cases it allowed a user to check for presence/absence of arbitrary values in any tables. Now the check_table_access function is called prior to the statement processing.
