A vulnerability has been identified in MySQL, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is due to an error in the "filesort()" [filesort.cc] routine when processing a single-row subselect query sorted via the "ORDER BY" clause, which could be exploited by malicious users to crash an affected database by executing a specially crafted SQL query.
