Synopsis

The remote database server may allow a remote user access to objects for which he does not have permissions.

Description

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.25 / 5.1.12 and thus reportedly allows a remote, authenticated user to gain privileges through a stored routine.

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.0.25 / 5.1.12 or later.
