mysql: temporary denial of service

Package(s):mysql CVE #(s):CVE-2012-2102
Created:June 20, 2012 Updated:July 10, 2012
Description: From the Red Hat advisory:

A flaw was found in the way MySQL processed HANDLER READ NEXT statements after deleting a record. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to provide such requests, causing mysqld to crash. This issue only caused a temporary denial of service, as mysqld was automatically restarted after the crash.
