Secunia Security Advisory - Lukasz Wojtow has reported a vulnerability in MySQL, potentially allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The problem is that the mysql_real_connect() function does not properly verify the length of IP addresses returned by a reverse DNS lookup of a hostname. This could potentially be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code.
