Bug#14771299 OUT-OF-BOUND READS WRITE IN MYSQLBINLOG
Problem: ======= Found using AddressSanitizer testing. The mysqlbinlog utility may result in out-of-bound heap buffer reads and thus, undefined behaviour, when processing RBR events in the old (pre-5.1 GA) format. The following code in process_event() would only be correct if Rows_log_event was the base class for Write,Update,Delete_rows_log_event_old classes: case PRE_GA_WRITE_ROWS_EVENT: case PRE_GA_DELETE_ROWS_EVENT: case PRE_GA_UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT: ... Rows_log_event *e= (Rows_log_event*) ev; Table_map_log_event *ignored_map= print_event_info->m_table_map_ignored.get_table(e->get_table_id()); ... if (e->get_flags(Rows_log_event::STMT_END_F)) { ... } However, Rows_log_event is only the base class for the Write,Update_Delete_rows_event family of classes, but not for their *_old counterparts. So the above typecasts are incorrect for the old-format RBR events and may result (and do result according to AddressSanitizer reports) in reading memory outside of the previously allocated on heap buffer. Fix: === The above mentioned invalid type cast has been replaced with appropriate old counterpart. Note:The above mentioned issue is present only mysql-5.1 and 5.5. This is fixed in mysql-5.6 and above as part of Bug#55790. Hence few of the relevant changes of Bug#55790 are being back ported to fix the current issue.
