MySQL Security Update

Posted December 6th, 2007 by Robert Mathews in Tech Corner. Tags: , , . Leave a comment

We applied a MySQL security update tonight. The version number remains 5.0.32, and customers should not notice any changes; the update just fixes several security issues.

The update was performed in such a way that new Web server connections were delayed during the 30 seconds or so that MySQL was unavailable on each server. That should mean that as far as scripts on your Web site were concerned, there was zero MySQL downtime.
