    CVE-2014-0001 | When the server attacks the client Imagine a receptionist crashing over an absurdly long name. A malicious database server could send a long version string that overflowed a buffer in a MySQL/MariaDB client. The official record describes an application crash and possible arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable code was in client/mysql.cc: this is not a claim that an unauthenticated attacker could take over the database server. The lesson: trust boundaries run both ways. Clients must validate server replies too.

    The buffer overflow was in client/mysql.cc. The record describes a client crash and possible code execution, not an unauthenticated takeover of the database server. Lesson: validate data received from servers. Official record: https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/blob/main/cves/2014/0xxx/CVE-2014-0001.json
