The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the create_named_pipe function in libmysql.c when processing a long (1) arg_host or (2) arg_unix_socket argument, as demonstrated by a long named pipe variable in the host argument to the mysql_connect function.
