Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database
server, which may lead to denial of service. The Common

"Kanatoko" discovered that the server can be crashed with feeding
NULL values to the str_to_date() function.
Jean-David Maillefer discovered that the server can be crashed with
specially crafted date_format() function calls.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
