MySQL empty bit string-literal DoS vulnerability
Posted by: Jaga Arikela

There had been a vulnerability in MySQL version prior to 5.0.66 versions where in remote attackers can cause the server to crash by sending a SQL statement as below to the MySQL server :

select b'';

I am running MySQL server version 5.0.25 and am trying to reproduce this bug on my
Windows XP machine. The server had not been crashing. Can anyone help me in resolving this.

Thanks in advance,
