Description:
mysqld  Ver 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))

MySQL believes correctly that 9223372036854775809 is of type BIGINT UNSIGNED. But if you ask MySQL to compute 9223372036854775809*-1, it will return the BIGINT UNSIGNED value 9223372036854775807 instead of throwing an arithmetic-overflow error.

How to repeat:
SELECT 9223372036854775808 * -1;
SELECT 9223372036854775809 * -1;

The first query above correctly yields:
    ERROR 1690 (22003): BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(9223372036854775808 * -(1))'

The second query incorrectly yields:
    +--------------------------+
    |      9223372036854775807 |
    +--------------------------+

Suggested fix:
The bug appears to be due to a typo in Item_func_mul::int_op(). It was part of the original fix for Bug #8433, which added all the overflow-checking code.
https://github.com/twitter/mysql/commit/197260313f6093a06675854a35bb62f3834d0879

    if ((ulonglong) res > (ulonglong) LONGLONG_MIN + 1)
      goto err;

I believe the proper fix is to change that "LONGLONG_MIN" to "LONGLONG_MAX". (Compare the similar code in Item_func_neg and Item_func_abs, which already correctly uses LONGLONG_MAX.)

You should also add a regression test to "mysql-test/t/func_math.test".

Here is a slightly less contrived and therefore slightly more frightening test case; I recommend adding it as a regression test.

create table ints (a bigint unsigned, b bigint signed);
insert into ints values (119537721,-77158673929);
select a*b from ints;

    +---------------------+
    | a*b                 |
    +---------------------+
    | 9223372036854775807 |
    +---------------------+

Indeed, this is what I get with 5.6.12:

[sinisa@local mysql-5.6.12]$ ./client/Debug/mysql bug -e "SELECT 9223372036854775808 * -1;"
ERROR 1690 (22003) at line 1: BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(9223372036854775808 * -(1))'
[sinisa@local mysql-5.6.12]$ ./client/Debug/mysql bug -e "SELECT 9223372036854775809 * -1;"
+--------------------------+
| 9223372036854775809 * -1 |
+--------------------------+
|      9223372036854775807 |
+--------------------------+

mysql-trunk built with clang shows us:

./mysql-trunk-clean/sql/item_func.cc:1612:10: runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'longlong' (aka 'long long'); cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself

@Shane: You only tried the first line, though; you didn't try the second line nor the "slightly less contrived and therefore slightly more frightening test case" in my first comment. IIRC, clang -fsanitize won't catch THAT bug.

It's good that you guys are finally using -fsanitize, though. You'll find a ton of bugs that way. :)

Seen again in mysql-trunk with function longlong Item_func_neg::int_op().
Just run mysqld built with ASAN and execute this:

select -(-9223372036854775808), -9223372036854775808;

./mysql-trunk-clean/sql/item_func.cc:2164:33: runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'longlong' (aka 'long long'); cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself

./mysql-trunk-clean/strings/decimal.c:1028:20: runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'longlong' (aka 'long long'); cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself

Still fails on current trunk ubsan build.   The query:  SELECT 9223372036854775808 * -1;

Code in question in Item_func_mul::int_op()

  if (a_negative != b_negative)
  {
    if ((ulonglong) res > (ulonglong) LLONG_MIN + 1)
      goto err;
    res= -res;    <------------

Fixed in 8.0.13.

A range check for the product of a signed and unsigned integer could
be performed incorrectly.
