Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The
vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream

improvements, bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible
changes. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical
Patch Update advisory for further details:

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.5.53-0+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-5.5 packages.
