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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old MySQL 5.1 and 6.0 releases. A logged-in remote database user could gain privileges over tables they should not access by abusing partitioned table creation behavior. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy MySQL 5.1.x or 6.0.x systems that still permit remote authenticated users to create partitioned tables. Modern MySQL deployments outside those versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if any affected MySQL instances remain in service, especially where shared, partner, or application accounts have broad database privileges. If no legacy MySQL 5.1 or 6.0 exists, document non-exposure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MySQL 5.1.x systems to 5.1.23 or later.; Upgrade MySQL 6.0.x systems to 6.0.4 or later.; Check current Oracle/MySQL guidance for supported upgrade paths..
