    BUG#18681: View privileges are broken · a21a2b5b
    gkodinov@mysql.com authored
    The check for view security was lacking several points :
    1. Check with the right set of permissions : for each table ref that
    participates in a view there were the right credentials to use in it's
    security_ctx member, but these weren't used for checking the credentials.
    This makes hard enforcing the SQL SECURITY DEFINER|INVOKER property
    consistently.
    2. Because of the above the security checking for views was just ruled out
    in explicit ways in several places.
    3. The security was checked only for the columns of the tables that are
    brought into the query from a view. So if there is no column reference
    outside of the view definition it was not detecting the lack of access to
    the tables in the view in SQL SECURITY INVOKER mode.
    
    The fix below tries to fix the above 3 points.
