mysql: cross-site scripting

Package(s):mysql CVE #(s):CVE-2008-4456
Created:April 29, 2009 Updated:March 8, 2010
Description: From the Debian advisory: Thomas Henlich reported that the MySQL commandline client application did not encode HTML special characters when run in HTML output mode (that is, "mysql --html ..."). This could potentially lead to cross-site scripting or unintended script privilege escalation if the resulting output is viewed in a browser or incorporated into a web site.
