Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 2.1.4 GA

Security Notes

The linked OpenSSL library for Connector/Python Commercial has been updated to version 1.0.1q. Issues fixed in the new OpenSSL version are described at http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html. This change does not affect Oracle-produced MySQL Community builds of Connector/Python, which use the yaSSL library instead.
The change also does not affect connections made using any pure Python implementation of Connector/Python, for which the version of OpenSSL used is whatever is installed on the system.

Bugs fixed

  • Connector/Python failed to establish connections using the cleartext client-side authentication plugin for accounts using the PAM server-side authentication plugin. Thanks to Daniël van Eeden for the patch. (Bug #22873551, Bug #80609)
  • A potential SQL injection vector was eliminated. (Bug #22529828)
  • Connections made using the C Extension failed when the ssl_ca parameter was given without ssl_cert and ssl_key. (Bug#21879914, Bug #79835, Bug #22494320)
  • For connections made with consume_results=True, consume_results was reset to False after callproc() execution failure. (Bug #21879859) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #21492815.
  • In connections for which compress=True, LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statements produced “Packets out of error” errors. (Bug#21449996)
  • Attempts to insert Python ByteArray data into binary table columns failed. (Bug #77822, Bug #21498719)
