mysql -- ALTER MERGE denial of service vulnerability

Description:

Dean Ellis reported a denial of service vulnerability in the MySQL server:

Multiple threads ALTERing the same (or different) MERGE tables to change the UNION eventually crash the server or hang the individual threads.

Note that a script demonstrating the problem is included in the MySQL bug report. Attackers that have control of a MySQL account can easily use a modified version of that script during an attack.
