Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Enterprise Backup v3.12.1, a new version of the online MySQL backup
tool, is now available for download from the My Oracle Support (MOS) website
as our latest GA release. This release will be available on eDelivery (OSDC)
after the next upload cycle. MySQL Enterprise Backup is a commercial
extension to the MySQL family of products.
A brief summary of the changes in MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB)
version 3.12.1 is given below.
Functionality Added or Changed 2015-06-29
Security Notes
* Security Fix: MySQL Enterprise Backup has been updated to
use OpenSSL version 1.0.1m, which has been publicly
reported as not vulnerable to CVE-2015-0286
(http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-20
15-0286). (Bug #20747721, CVE-2015-0286)
Bugs Fixed
* An incremental partial backup failed if the
--incremental-base option was used. (Bug #20868507)
* When creating an incremental backup on a Windows platform
using the --incremental-base=dir:directory_path option,
if the end_lsn value for the last backup was 2^32 or
larger, the value was retrieved as 2^32-1 by mysqlbackup.
This was because mysqlbackup converted the value from
string into long integer, instead of long long integer.
This fix corrects the data type used during the
conversion. (Bug #20839829)
* A backup failed with the error message "Failed trying to
flush for export" if the names of any table mysqlbackup
tried to back up contained special characters (spaces,
dashes, periods, dollar signs, etc.). With this fix,
table names with special characters are now supported.
(Bug #20454754, Bug #75722)
* A validate operation always failed for a compressed image
backup with the complaint that the data file fragments
were corrupted when the compressed image was big enough
to be broken down into multiple fragments. This was
because mysqlbackup failed to recognize the file name
extensions of the compressed fragments, and that has been
corrected by this fix. (Bug #19796216)
* When the --include-tables or --exclude-tables option was
provided with a regular expression for table names
containing special characters, mysqlbackup was handling
the special characters incorrectly, and hence table names
were not filtered properly and tables were copied
incorrectly. With this fix, mysqlbackup handles and
filters the table names properly and takes backups of the
matching tables. (Bug #19765644, Bug #11762160)
