Bugs fixed:

  • Security Fix: Using RENAME TABLE against a table with explicit DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options can be used to overwrite system table information by replacing the symbolic link points. the file to which the symlink points.

    MySQL will now return an error when the file to which the symlink points already exists. (Bug#321111, CVE-2007-5969)

  • Error returns from the time() system call were ignored. (Bug#27198)
