[VIM] Oracle MySQL 'acl_get()' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

[George A. Theall]

There are currently two recent BIDs involving a buffer overflow in MySQL / MariaDB : 56750 and 56769. The later specifically mentions the 'acl_get()' function while the older does not have much in the way of details. Cross-referencing the CVEs, though, suggests they're the same issue, taking into account that Mitre had rejected CVE-2012-5579 and points people to CVE-2012-5611 instead.

Venkat or Rob: are there plans to retire one of these BIDs?
