This bug was already existing with subject:
 "#285276: mysql: vulnerability issue (CAN-2004-0956 and CAN-2004-0957)"
I merged the two.

The problem with this bug is that it requires either a bigger version
change (3.23.49 to 3.23.58) or a very big patch for just this issue 
(which is hard to produce or do you have one that changes nothing except
the security hole?). Both was not liked very much and the security 
implication is realy realy low (correct me if I'm wrong).

At the time of the bug disclosed I thought the Sarge release was just
some weeks away and would introduce a fixed 4.0 version with the new
"stable" version. Sadly Debian Sarge is still late with no release in
sight.

bye,
