CVE-2002-1374

MySQL <3.23.54, <4.0.6 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm

Description

The COM_CHANGE_USER command in MySQL 3.x before 3.23.54, and 4.x before 4.0.6, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a brute force attack using a one-character password, which causes MySQL to only compare the provided password against the first character of the real password.
