RPM and Debian packages now create the
/var/lib/mysql-files
directory, which is now the default value of thesecure_file_priv
system variable that specifies a directory for import and export operations. (Bug #24709892, Bug #24761774)

Incompatible Change: The
secure_file_priv
system variable is used to limit the effect of data import and export operations. The following changes have been made to how the server handles this variable:secure_file_priv
can be set toNULL
to disable all import and export operations.The server checks the value of
secure_file_priv
at startup and writes a warning to the error log if the value is insecure. A non-NULL
value is considered insecure if it is empty, or the value is the data directory or a subdirectory of it, or a directory that is accessible by all users. Ifsecure_file_priv
is set to a nonexistent path, the server writes an error message to the error log and exits.-
Previously, the
secure_file_priv
system variable was empty by default. Now the default value is platform specific and depends on the value of theINSTALL_LAYOUT
CMake option, as shown in the following table.INSTALL_LAYOUT

under theCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
value To specify the default
secure_file_priv
value explicitly if you are building from source, use the newINSTALL_SECURE_FILE_PRIVDIR
CMake option. To specify a directory for the embedded server, set the newINSTALL_SECURE_FILE_PRIV_EMBEDDEDDIR
option. Its default value isNULL
.

The linked OpenSSL library for the MySQL Commercial Server has been updated to version 1.0.1u. For a description of issues fixed in this version, see http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html.
This change does not affect the Oracle-produced MySQL Community build of MySQL Server, which uses the yaSSL library instead. (Bug #24753389)
yaSSL was upgraded to version 2.4.2. This upgrade corrects issues with: Potential AES side channel leaks; DSA padding for unusual sizes; the
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations()
OpenSSL compatibility function failing to handle long path directory names. (Bug #24512715, Bug #24740291)
