MySQL has a few Venerabilities
See below dont know if this is causing problems but thought I let you know :)

1)Passwords of MySQL users are stored in the "User" table, part of the "mysql" database, specifically in the "Password" field.
In MySQL 4.0.x and 3.23.x, these passwords are hashed and stored as a 16 characters long hexadecimal value, specifically in the "Password" field. Unfortunately, a function involved in password checking misses correct bounds checking. By filling a "Password" field a value wider than 16 characters, a buffer overflow will occur.

2)MySQL allows users that are able to change their password to cause it to overflow an internal buffer while causing it to execute arbitrary code. The following exploit code can be used to test your system for the vulnerability.
