Bug#12428404 MYSQLD.EXE CRASHES WHEN EXTRACTVALUE() IS CALLED
WITH MALFORMED XPATH EXP Problem: A malformed XPATH expression in the ExtractValue query is causing a server crash. This malformed XPATH expression is resulted when the position attribute in the substring function contains ".." in the beginning. Solution: The original crash is happening because the "../" is being evaluated prematurely. It tries to access XML while it hasn't been parsed yet. The premature evaluation is happening because the val_nodeset function is being set to constant, in which case we proceed to evaluate them in JOIN:prepare stage only. The solution to this is setting the val_nodeset functions as non-constant. This forces us to evaluate the function in the JOIN:exec stage and thus avoid any premature evaluation of the XML strings.
