In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: A logging bypass was discovered in the MySQL query parser. A local attacker could exploit this by inserting NUL characters into query strings (even into comments), which would cause the query to be logged incompletely. This only affects you if you enabled the 'log' parameter in the MySQL configuration.
