CVE-2015-2617 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the Partition component of Oracle MySQL Server 5.6.24 and earlier. While processing a CREATE TABLE statement containing a PARTITION clause, the server does not validate the length of directory-path values before copying them into a stack-based buffer. An authenticated database user with CREATE TABLE permission can supply an excessively long DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY value to corrupt stack memory in the MySQL server process.
