      Bug#20691429 ASSERTION `CHILD_L' FAILED IN STORAGE/MYISAMMRG/ · 6d1e2fbc
      Ajo Robert authored
      HA_MYISAMMRG.CC:631
      
      Analysis
      ========
      Any attempt to open a temporary MyISAM merge table consisting
      of a view in its list of tables (not the last table in the list)
      under LOCK TABLES causes the server to exit.
      
      Current implementation doesn't perform sanity checks during
      merge table creation. This allows merge table to be created
      with incompatible tables (table with non-myisam engine),
      views or even with table doesn't exist in the system.
      
      During view open, check to verify whether requested view
      is part of a merge table is missing under LOCK TABLES path
      in open_table(). This leads to opening of underlying table
      with parent_l having NULL value. Later when attaching child
      tables to parent, this hits an ASSERT as all child tables
      should have parent_l pointing to merge parent. If the operation
      does not happen under LOCK TABLES mode, open_table() checks
      for view's parent_l and returns error.
      
      Fix:
      ======
      Check added before opening view Under LOCK TABLES in open_table()
      to verify whether it is part of merge table. Error is returned
      if the view is part of a merge table.

      Bug#19817021 CRASH IN TABLE_LIST::PREPARE_SECURITY WHEN · 15de3c62
      Ajo Robert authored
      DOING BAD DDL IN PREPARED STATEMENT
      
      Analysis
      ========
      A repeat execution of the prepared statement 'ALTER TABLE v1
      CHECK PARTITION' where v1 is a view leads to server exit.
      
      ALTER TABLE ... CHECK PARTITION is not applicable for views
      and check for the same check is missing. This leads to
      further execution and creation of derived table for the view
      (Allocated under temp_table mem_root). Any reference to open
       view or related pointers from second execution leads to
      server exit as the same was freed at previous execution closure.
      
      Fix:
      ======
      Added check for view in mysql_admin_table() on PARTITION
      operation. This will prevent mysql_admin_table() from
      going ahead and creating temp table and related issues.
      Changed message on admin table view operation error to
      be more appropriate.

      Bug #22123583: MYSQL 5.5: MAIN.SP HAS VALGRIND ISSUES · 75bfdea4
      Sreeharsha Ramanavarapu authored
      Issue:
      -----
      When a varchar column is used to fill the record in an
      internal temporary table, the length of the string stored
      in the column is not taken into account. Instead the
      default length of packed data is used to copy with memmove.
      This will cause valgrind issues since some bytes are
      uninitialized.
      
      SOLUTION:
      ---------
      The solution is to take into account the length of the
      string stored in the column while filling the record.
      
      This fix is a backport of BUG#13389854.

      Bug #22023218: MYSQL 5.5: MAIN.FULLTEXT HAS VALGRIND ISSUES. · 5e9a50ef
      Sreeharsha Ramanavarapu authored
      
      Issue
      -----
      This problem occurs when varchar columns are used in a
      internal temporary table. The type of the field is set
      incorrectly to the generic FIELD_NORMAL type. This in turn
      results in an inaccurate calculation of the record length.
      Valgrind issues will occur since initialization has not
      happend for some bytes.
      
      Fix
      ----
      While creating the temporary table, the type of the field
      needs to be to set FIELD_VARCHAR. This will allow myisam
      to calculate the record length accurately.
      
      This fix is a backport of BUG#13350136.

                     2ND EXECUTION OF PS
      
      Description:
      ------------
      When MySQL calls 'EXECUTE stmt' firstly to deal with ORDER BY clause which is
      similar with 'ORDER BY 1,(t2a.f2+1)' in find_order_in_list(), it believes the
      first expression is a position, the function replaces the pointer of the first
      expression with Item_field object associated with a temporary table field,
      then releases it after the end of the execution, that behavior destroys the
      pointer of first expression.
      
      After that, when MySQL calls 'EXECUTE stmt' once more, the first expression
      points to an invalid pointer, so it crashed.
      
      Fix:
      ----
      If an item of ORDER clause is a location, reset 'args' with a original value.

      ===========
      When doing an upgrade, you execute mysql_upgrade. If
      mysql_upgrade fails to connect or it connects with a user
      without the proper privileges, it will return the error:

      In main() and check_version_match(), the condition for
      errors are clubbed together and throw the same error msg.
      The functions need to be splitted up and the corresponding
      error msgs have to be displayed.

      Mithun C Y authored
      Issue:
      ======
      While re-preparing the statement in
      Prepared_statement::swap_prepared_statement for swapping
      the database of PS we only swapped the db string but not
      its length. This resulted in mismatch between the actual
      string and its length. In one particular case where db
      of PS was dropped, we have db as null pointer and length
      as non-zero. strdup which used above values resulted in
      invalid memory access.
      
      Solution:
      =========
      In Prepared_statement::swap_prepared_statement also swap
      db_length along with db variable. Also, remove
      DBUG_ASSERT(db_length == copy->db_length) as this have
      no meaning if they are 2 different entities.

                      CRASHES IN WILD_CASE_COMPARE!
      
      Description:- Executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES and REVOKE/
      GRANT concurrently crashes the server.
      
      Analysis:- Concurrent FLUSH PRIVILEGES and REVOKE/GRANT
      might trigger a small time frame in which REVOKE/GRANT
      fetches the "acl_proxy_user" information as a part of
      "acl_check_proxy_grant_access()". Meanwhile FLUSH PRIVILEGES
      deletes the old acl structures as a part of "acl_reload()".
      After which REVOKE/GRANT tries to access the hostname in
      "wild_case_compare()" which leads to a crash because of the
      invalid memory access.
      
      Fix:- Mutex lock on "acl_cache" is acquired before fetching
      "acl_proxy_user" information in
      "acl_check_proxy_grant_access()".

      Issue:
      -----
      This problem happens under the following conditions:
      1) A table partitioned with a character column as the key.
      2) The expressions specified in the partition definition
         requires a charset conversion. This can happen when the
         server's default collation is different from the
         expression's collation.
      3) INSERT DELAYED is used to insert data into the table.
      
      SOLUTION:
      ---------
      While creating the delayed_insert object, initialize it
      with the relevant select_lex.

                     UPDATE VIEW USING OUTER SUBQUERY
      
      Issue:
      -----
      While resolving a column which refers to a table/view in an
      outer query, it's respecitve item object is marked with the
      outer query's select_lex object. But when the column refers
      to a view or if the column is part of a subquery in the
      HAVING clause, an Item_ref object is created. While the
      reference to the outer query is stored by the Item_ref
      object, the same is not stored in it's real_item.
      
      This creates a problem with the IN-TO-EXISTS optmization.
      When there is an index over the column in the inner query,
      it will be considered since the column's real_item object
      will be mistaken for a local field. This will lead to a
      crash.
      
      SOLUTION:
      ---------
      Under the current design, the only way to fix this issue is
      to check the reginfo.join_tab for a NULL value. If yes, the
      query should not be worrying about the key use.
      
      The testcase and comments added as part of the fix for
      Bug#17766653 have been backported.

      Bug#20755615 CREATING INDEX ON A RENAMED COLUMN WITH CASE CRASH .FRM · ea9dbef6
      Aditya A authored
                      FILE
      
      PROBLEM
      
      In 5.5 when doing doing a rename of a column ,we ignore the case between
      old and new column names while comparing them,so if the change is just
      the case then we don't even mark the field FIELD_IS_RENAMED ,we just update
      the frm file ,but don't recreate the table as is the norm when alter is
      used.This leads to inconsistency in the innodb data dictionary which causes
      index creation to fail.
      
      FIX
      
      According to the documentation any innodb column rename should trigger
      rebuild of the table. Therefore for innodb tables we will do a strcmp()
      between the column names and if there is case change in column name
      we will trigger a rebuild.

      Problem:
      
      A CREATE TABLE with an invalid table name is detected
      at SQL layer. So the table name is reset to an empty
      string.  But the storage engine is called with this
      empty table name.  The table name is specified as

      Within InnoDB, detect this error and report it to
      higher layer.

      Bug #21467458 - UNINSTALL PLUGIN DAEMON_EXAMPLE CRASHES · 17387bc5
      Shishir Jaiswal authored
                      MYSQLD.
      
      DESCRIPTION
      ===========
      Crash occurs when daemon_example plugin is uninstalled
      immediately after its installed. This can be reproduced
      by installing and uninstalling the plugin repeatedly.
      
      ANALYSIS
      ========
      The daemon_example_plugin_deinit() function of the daemon
      example plugin calls pthread_cancel() but doesn't wait for
      the worker thread to actually complete before deallocating
      the data buffer and closing the file that it writes to.
      This is causing SEGFAULT!
      
      FIX
      ===
      Added a pthread_join() to wait for the thread to complete
      before doing the cleanup work.
      
      Removed a stray 'x' variable from the example code.
      
      NOTE
      ====
      Have made an entry in .opt file as given below:
      --plugin-dir=$DAEMONEXAMPLE_DIR
      
      This is done so that the program takes plugin directory as
      ../<dbg>/plugin/daemon_example/ instead of
      ../lib/plugin/

      Arun Kuruvila authored
                      PID_FILE CHECK LEADS TO OOM SIG 11
      
      Description:- A server started with 'query_alloc_block_size'
      option set to a certain range of negative values on a
      machine without enough memory may lead to OOM.
      
      Analysis:- Server uses 'strtoull()' to convert server
      variable values of type 'GET_UINT', 'GET_ULONG' or 'GET_ULL'
      from string to unsigned long long. According to the man
      page, 'strtoull()' function returns either the result of the
      conversion or, if there was a leading minus sign, the
      negation of the result of the conversion represented as an
      unsigned value, unless the original(nonnegated) value would
      overflow; in the latter case, strtoull() returns ULLONG_MAX
      and sets errno to ERANGE. So 'strtoull()' converts a small
      negative value to a larger postive value. For example string
      '-1125899906842624' will be converted to an unsigned value,
      '18445618173802708992' (ulonglong typecast of
      '-1125899906842624'). So a
      server started with 'query_alloc_block_size' set to
      "-1125899906842624" on a machine without enough memory will
      lead to OOM since server allocates '18445618173802708992'
      bytes(17178820608 GB) for query allocation block.
      
      Fix:- When server is started with any server variable, of
      type "GET_UINT", "GET_ULONG" or "GET_ULL", set to a negative
      value, a warning, "option xxx: value -yyy adjusted to zzz"
      is thrown and the value is adjusted to the lowest possible
      value for that variable. The dynamic server variable which
      is configured through the client exhibit the same behavior
      as fix made for variables configured during the server
      start up.

      Bug#20198490 : LOWER_CASE_TABLE_NAMES=0 ON WINDOWS LEADS TO · f4ff086a
      Arun Kuruvila authored
                     PROBLEMS
      
      Description:- Server variable "--lower_case_tables_names"
      when set to "0" on windows platform which does not support
      case sensitive file operations leads to problems. A warning
      message is printed in the error log while starting the
      server with "--lower_case_tables_names=0". Also according to
      the documentation, seting "lower_case_tables_names" to "0"
      on a case-insensitive filesystem might lead to index
      corruption.
      
      Analysis:- The problem reported in the bug is:-
      Creating an INNODB table 'a' and executing a query, "INSERT
      INTO a SELECT a FROM A;" on a server started with
      "--lower_case_tables_names=0" and running on a
      case-insensitive filesystem leads innodb to flat spin.
      Optimizer thinks that "a" and "A" are two different tables
      as the variable "lower_case_table_names" is set to "0". As a
      result, optimizer comes up with a plan which does not need a
      temporary table. If the same table is used in select and
      insert, a temporary table is needed. This incorrect
      optimizer plan leads to infinite insertions.
      
      Fix:- If the server is started with
      "--lower_case_tables_names" set to 0 on a case-insensitive
      filesystem, an error, "The server option
      'lower_case_table_names'is configured to use case sensitive
      table names but the data directory is on a case-insensitive
      file system which is an unsupported combination. Please
      consider either using a case sensitive file system for your
      data directory or switching to a case-insensitive table name
      mode.", is printed in the server error log and the server
      exits.
