Second error:
>CAN-2004-0957 discusses a bug in MySQL's mysql_real_connect() function.

That is not true either, mysql_real_connect() is CAN-2004-0836. CAN-2004-0957
is an unrelated vulnerability fixed in the same RHSA.

See http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-200...
and http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-200...

Given there is two factual mistakes in the 5 lines pasted in the news
item, how much would you trust the rest ?
