MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.23 and 6.0.x before 6.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges on arbitrary tables via unspecified vectors involving use of table-level DATA DIRECTORY and INDEX DIRECTORY options when creating a partitioned table with the same name as a table on which the user lacks privileges.
Notes

check if it also applies to mysql 5.0 5.1 and 6.0 only according to upstream release notes (the bug is private, so can't see it)
