MySQL Bugs: #1212: FLUSH PRIVILEGES segfaults in embedded mysql

Bug #1212	FLUSH PRIVILEGES segfaults in embedded mysql
Submitted:	6 Sep 2003 3:31	Modified:	29 Sep 2003 3:33
Reporter:	Georg Richter	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Embedded Library ( libmysqld )	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1.1	OS:	Linux (Linux)
Assigned to:	Alexey Botchkov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When you call "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" in embedded server, mysql_query will segfault.
GRANT ALL AND REVOKE work correct:

GRANT ALL ON emb_test.* TO 'foo'@'localhost' identified by 'foobar'
-> failed (Unknown command)
REVOKE ALL ON emb_test.* FROM 'foo'@'localhost'
-> failed (Unknown command)
FLUSH PRIVILEGES
-> Segmentation fault

In 4.0.15 FLUSH PRIVILEGES will show 030906 13:15:30  Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist

How to repeat:
mysql_server_init(0,NULL,NULL);

mysql = mysql_init(NULL);
mysql_real_connect(mysql, NULL, NULL, NULL, "", 0, NULL; 0);

mysql_query(mysql, "FLUSH PRIVILEGES");

Suggested fix:
Don't allow this command

Will be fixed in a few days with the implementing of the privileges conrol in embedded library

I am changing the status to verified since Alexey said that
already he is working in the fix.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
