Description

A race condition was found in the way MariaDB performed MyISAM engine
table repair. A database user with shell access to the server running
mysqld could use this flaw to change permissions of arbitrary files
writable by the mysql system user (CVE-2016-6663).

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database
server.   Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle
