Information_schma database privileges are allowed when loged as user 'root'.

How to repeat:
1. execute the following command.
    delimiter //
    Drop user 'u_6_40402'@'localhost' //
    create user 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant all on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant alter on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant alter routine on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant create routine on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant delete on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant drop on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant execute on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant index on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant insert on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant lock tables on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant references on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant show view on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant update on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant usage on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
    grant grant option on information_schema.* to 'u_6_40402'@'localhost'//
 
2. Expected Result: It should not allow to grant privileges other than 'select' 
                           and 'create view'

3. Actual Result: It is allowing almost all privileges with some execeptions.

Could you please explane me why you use "grant" instead of "revoke" ? As far as I can understand you enable all grant privileges to u_6_40402

Sorry...I did't understand the problem first time. I was not right.
