mysql -- erroneous access restrictions applied to table renames

Description:

A Red Hat advisory reports:

Oleksandr Byelkin discovered that "ALTER TABLE ... RENAME" checked the CREATE/INSERT rights of the old table instead of the new one.

Table access restrictions, on the affected MySQL servers, may accidently or intentially be bypassed due to this bug.
