The BTS has wrapped the long line in the "how to reproduce" section. This might no longer work if you copy/paste in a terminal. The command line has no new-line in it, please remove them when pasting, thanks.

As I understand it, the freeing of invalid pointer is done in function String::free in file sql_string.h

The \r triggers a reconnect to the server. And as a lot of junk is passed after \r, memory will be overwritten. 'com_connect' function in mysql.cc needs to be improved.

Memory overwritten by hostile tcp connections sounds like a promising candidate for the next CVE security bug entry :) Magnus, can you confirm that this is really a "non-critical" issue and cannot be used to insert shellcode or similar? bye, -christian- / Debian

Invoking "connect" or "\r" with very long parameters for dbname or host caused buffer overflow.
