This signature detects SQL commands that create long function names. MySQL contains a vulnerability in function naming that can allow a malicious user to halt the SQL daemon. A sophisticated attack can allow arbitrary code execution.
MySQL is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. The application fails to perform sufficient boundary checks on data supplied as an argument in a user-defined function. A database user with sufficient access to create a user-defined function can exploit this issue. Attackers may also be able to exploit this issue through latent SQL-injection vulnerabilities in third-party applications that use the database as a backend. Successful exploits will allow arbitrary code to run in the context of the database server process.
