NOTE: this issue was originally reported for the mysql\_query function, but the vendor states that since mysql\_query expects a null character, this is not an issue for mysql\_query. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | mysql-dfsg-5.0 | 7.04 feisty | Fixed 5.0.38-0ubuntu1 | | 6.10 edgy | Fixed 5.0.24a-9ubuntu0.1 | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Fixed 5.0.22-0ubuntu6.06.3 | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0903) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2006-0903) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2006-0903) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2006-0903) ### Related Ubuntu Security Notices (USN) + [USN-274-2](https://usn.ubuntu.com/USN-274-2) + MySQL vulnerability + 15 May 2006 + [USN-274-1](https://usn.ubuntu.com/USN-274-1) + MySQL vulnerability + 27 April 2006 ### Other references *
