What is CVE-2010-3833?

MySQL versions prior to 5.0.92, 5.1.51, and 5.5.6 contain a vulnerability that fails to appropriately manage type errors when processing arguments for extreme-value functions like LEAST and GREATEST. This can potentially be exploited by remote attackers, leading to a denial of service situation characterized by server crashes during specific operations, such as 'CREATE TABLE ... SELECT'.
