CVE-2005-1636
mysql_install_db in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.12 and 5.x up to 5.0.4 creates the mysql_install_db.X file with a predictable filename and insecure permissions, which allows local users to execute arbitrary SQL commands by modifying the file's contents.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
