BUG#49124 Security issue with /*!-versioned */ SQL statements on Slave
Backport to 5.0. /*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */), is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master. This bug is fixed with the logic below: - To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave. - Example: 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/ will be binlogged as 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/
