Changes in MySQL 5.7.38

SQL Function and Operator Notes

When the mysql client was started with --default-character-set=utf8mb4, \ 
successive calls to the UUID() function returned duplicate values.

Security Notes

The linked OpenSSL library for MySQL Server has been updated to version 1.1.1n \ 
from 1.1.1l. Issues fixed in OpenSSL are described at \ 
https://www.openssl.org/news/cl111.txt and at \ 
http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html.

Functionality Added or Changed

The default for the group_replication_transaction_size_limit system variable, \ 
which sets the maximum transaction size that a replication group accepts, is \ 
changed from zero (no limit) to 150000000 bytes (approximately 143 MB), which is \ 
the same as the default in MySQL 8.0. Setting a limit for this system variable \ 
by default helps to avoid delays or errors caused by excessively large \ 
transactions. Transactions above the limit are rolled back and are not sent to \ 
Group Replication's Group Communication System (GCS) for distribution to the \ 
group. If your Group Replication servers previously accepted transactions larger \ 
than the new default limit, and you were allowing \ 
group_replication_transaction_size_limit to default to the old zero limit, those \ 
transactions will start to fail after the upgrade to the new default. You must \ 
either specify an appropriate size limit that allows the maximum message size \ 
you need the group to tolerate (which is the recommended solution), or specify 
a zero setting to restore the previous behavior.

The myisam_repair_threads system variable and myisamchk --parallel-recover \ 
option are deprecated; expect support for both to be removed in a future release \ 
of MySQL.

Values other than 1 (the default) for myisam_repair_threads produce a warning.

Bugs Fixed

InnoDB: A missing null pointer check for an index instance caused a failure.

InnoDB: Purge threads processed undo records of an encrypted table for which the \ 
tablespace was not loaded, causing a failure.

InnoDB: Incorrect AUTO_INCREMENT values were generated when the maximum integer \ 
column value was exceeded. The error was due to the maximum column value not \ 
being considered. The previous valid AUTO_INCREMENT value should have been \ 
returned in this case, causing a duplicate key error.

Partitioning: In some cases, establishing a connection to MySQL server could \ 
fail if the .ibd file for a partition was missing.

Statements that cannot be parsed (due, for example, to syntax errors) are no \ 
longer written to the slow query log.

It was not possible to revoke the DROP privilege on the Performance Schema.

A page cleaner thread timed out as it waited for an exclusive lock on an index \ 
page held by a full-text index creation operation on a large table.

A memory leak occurred if mysqldump was used on more than one table with the \ 
--order-by-primary option. The memory allocated for sorting each table’s rows \ 
is now freed after every table, rather than only once.

mysqld_safe log message textual errors were corrected.

Audit Log Notes

Previously, each event logged by MySQL Enterprise Audit included the SQL \ 
statement literal text. To provide an alternative (because it is possible that \ 
statements contain sensitive information), the audit log filtering language now \ 
supports logging a statement's digest rather than its literal text. For example, \ 
instead of logging this statement:

SELECT * FROM orders WHERE some_sensitive_column=1234567
The audit log plugin can log this digest:

SELECT * FROM `orders` WHERE `some_sensitive_column` = ?
This is similar to what is already logged for prepared statements, for which \ 
parameter markers appear rather than actual data values.

To perform digest logging, use audit filter definitions that replace the \ 
statement literal text by its corresponding digest, as discussed in Replacement \ 
of Event Field Values.

Because text replacement occurs at an early auditing stage (during filtering), \ 
the choice of whether to log statement literal text or digest values applies \ 
regardless of log format written later (that is, whether the audit log plugin \ 
produces XML or JSON output).

Compilation Notes

Binary packages that include curl rather than linking to the system curl library \ 
have been upgraded to use curl 7.80.0.

SQL Function and Operator Notes

Queries making use of the MBRContains() function did not employ all available \ 
spatial indexes.

The FORMAT() function returned a formatted number without showing the thousands \ 
separator and grouping between separators when either the es_ES or es_MX locale \ 
was specified.

Packaging Notes

The GnuPG build key used to sign MySQL downloadable packages has been updated. \ 
The previous GnuPG build key is set to expire on 2022-02-16. For information \ 
about verifying the integrity and authenticity of MySQL downloadable packages \ 
using GnuPG signature checking, or to obtain a copy of our public GnuPG build \ 
key, see Signature Checking Using GnuPG.

Due to the GnuPG key update, systems configured to use repo.mysql.com may report \ 
a signature verification error when upgrading to MySQL 5.7.37 and higher or to \ 
MySQL 8.0.28 and higher using apt or yum. Use one of the following methods to \ 
resolve this issue:

Manually reinstall the MySQL APT or YUM repository setup package from \ 
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.

Download the MySQL GnuPG public key and add it your system GPG keyring.

For MySQL APT repository instructions, see Appendix A: Adding and Configuring \ 
the MySQL APT Repository Manually.

For MySQL YUM repository instructions, see Upgrading MySQL with the MySQL Yum \ 
Repository.

Bugs Fixed

InnoDB: The buf_validate() function in the InnoDB sources was optimized, \ 
improving performance on debug builds.

Thanks to Hobert Lu for the contribution.

Partitioning: Creating a table with nondeterministic functions in generated \ 
column expressions should not be possible, but this was not enforced in all \ 
cases; a series of one or more ALTER TABLE statements could be employed to \ 
arrive at a partitioned table with one or more such generated columns. When \ 
attempting to execute the CREATE TABLE statement obtained by running SHOW CREATE \ 
TABLE against this table, MySQL rejected the statement with a misleading error \ 
message referring to the partitioning expression rather than to the problematic \ 
column, despite the fact that the partitioning expression itself was legal.

This was caused by the result of a check for any unsafe expressions defined for \ 
a generated column (in the internal variable thd->safe_to_cache_query), which \ 
was later checked again without being cleared while parsing the partition \ 
expression, leading to an error even when the partition expression did not refer \ 
to the problematic generated column expression. Now in such cases, we reset \ 
thd->safe_to_cache_query before parsing the partition function.

The issue of allowing the use of certain nondeterminstic functions \ 
(AES_ENCRYPT(), AES_DECRYPT(), RANDOM_BYTES()) in generated columns is handled \ 
separately.

Partitioning: A query using an index other than the primary key of a partitioned \ 
table sometimes resulted in excessive CPU load.

Replication: When the PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH SQL mode was enabled on a replica \ 
server, trailing spaces could be added to a replication channel’s name in the \ 
replication metadata repository tables, resulting in errors in replication \ 
operations that identified the channel using that data. The issue has now been \ 
fixed in MySQL 8.0 by using VARCHAR for character columns, and in MySQL 5.7 by \ 
disabling the SQL mode when reading from those tables. Thanks to Brian Yue for \ 
the contribution.

MySQL 5.7 did not handle the thread_stack variable in the same manner as MySQL \ 
5.6 or MySQL 8.0.

It was possible in some cases to create a generated column of type SERIAL, which \ 
is not allowed.

See Numeric Data Type Syntax, and CREATE TABLE and Generated Columns, for more \ 
information

Statements which commit a transaction implicitly or explicitly are not allowed \ 
inside a trigger or a stored function. Both CREATE TRIGGER and CREATE FUNCTION \ 
should report an error (ER_COMMIT_NOT_ALLOWED_IN_SF_OR_TRG) in this case, but \ 
did not correctly handle DROP TABLESPACE.

The MySQL session used for online keyring migration was not closed gracefully \ 
after the migration was complete, resulting in an “Aborted connection” note \ 
being printed to the error log.

SHOW PROCESSLIST could read freed memory when accessing the query string \ 
belonging to a connection that was in the process of deleting a prepared \ 
statement.

Privileges were not checked correctly for ALTER USER ... IDENTIFIED WITH ... BY.

Security Notes

The linked OpenSSL library for MySQL Server has been updated to version 1.1.1l. \ 
Issues fixed in the new OpenSSL version are described at \ 
https://www.openssl.org/news/cl111.txt and and \ 
http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html.

Bugs Fixed

Incompatible Change: For all SELECT statements on a view, the query digest was \ 
based on the view definition. As a result, different queries had the same digest \ 
and aggregated together in the Performance Schema table \ 
events_statements_summary_by_digest, so statistics in that table were not usable \ 
for distinguishing distinct SELECT statements.

The query digest for each SELECT statement on a view now is based on the SELECT, \ 
not the view definition. This enables distinguishing distinct SELECT statements \ 
in the events_statements_summary_by_digest table. However, tools that use query \ 
digests may need some adjustment to account for this change. For example, MySQL \ 
Enterprise Firewall and query rewrite plugins rely on query digests and existing \ 
rules for them that are associated with views may need to be updated.

InnoDB: With undo log truncation enabled (innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON), it was \ 
possible for a deadlock and eventual failure to occur when an undo log truncate \ 
operation was initiated after a version upgrade from MySQL 5.6 to MySQL 5.7.34 \ 
or earlier. A patch introduced in MySQL 5.7.35

[Note] InnoDB: Found duplicate reference rseg: 33 space: 1 page: 3
[Note] InnoDB: Reset pre-5.7.2 rseg: 1 after duplicate is found.
If pre-5.7.2 rollback segment slots have no undo data to purge, a message \ 
similar to the following is emitted:

[Note] InnoDB: Successfully reset 32 pre-5.7.2 rseg slots.
If undo data is found in pre-5.7.2 rollback segment slots, a message similar to \ 
the following is emitted recommending a slow shutdown and restart:

[Note] InnoDB: pre-5.7.2 rseg: 2 holds data to be purged.
History length: 1. Recommend slow shutdown with innodb_fast_shutdown=0 and restart

InnoDB: Truncation of an undo tablespace during use by an active transaction \ 
raised an assertion failure. The transaction was prematurely marked as complete, \ 
permitting the truncation operation.

InnoDB: Deleting or updating a row from a parent table initiated a cascading SET \ 
NULL operation on the child table that set a virtual column value to NULL. The \ 
virtual column value should have been derived from the base column value.

Thanks to Yin Peng at Tencent for the contribution.

InnoDB: The InnoDB recovery process did not recognize that page compression had \ 
been applied to data that was being recovered, causing the tablespace data file \ 
to increase in size during the redo log apply phase, which could lead to a \ 
recovery failure for systems approaching a disk-full state.

Replication: The error messages issued by MySQL Replication when GTIDs required \ 
for auto-positioning have been purged could be incorrectly assigned or scrambled \ 
in some situations.

Replication: The contents of the gtid_executed and gtid_purged GTID sets were \ 
not persisted after restoring a dump taken using mysqldump. The dump file \ 
sequence has now been changed so that the mysql schema (which contains the \ 
mysql.gtid_executed table) is not dropped after the gtid_purged GTID set is \ 
written. A new option --skip-mysql-schema is added for mysqldump which lets you \ 
choose not to drop the mysql schema at all.

JSON: Conversion of JSON values to text caused linear growth of the destination \ 
string, resulting in an unnecessarily high number of reallocations. Now this \ 
process uses exponential growth instead, to reduce the number of allocations \ 
required.

This fix originally appeared in MySQL 8.0 and was backported to MySQL 5.7 by \ 
Annirudh Prasad, whom we thank for the contribution.

Concurrent insert operations on multiple tables with full-text indexes caused a \ 
large number of full-text index synchronization requests, resulting in an out of \ 
memory condition.

When a query uses a temporary table for aggregation, the group by item is used \ 
as a unique constraint on the temporary table: If the item value is already \ 
present, the row is updated; otherwise, a new row is inserted into the temporary \ 
table. If the item has a result field or reference item, it it evaluated twice, \ 
once to check whether the result exists in the temporary table and, if not, \ 
again while constructing the row to be inserted. When the group by item was \ 
nondeterministic, the result value used to check for existence differed from \ 
that with which an insert was attempted, causing the insert to be rejected if \ 
the value already existed in the table.

We fix this by using the hash of any nondeterministic items as the unique \ 
constraint, so that the hash is evaluated once only.

Quote handling was improved for the SHOW GRANTS statement.

Audit Log Notes

Deprecation and Removal Notes

Audit Log Notes

For MySQL Enterprise Audit, the new audit_log_format_unix_timestamp system \ 
variable enables inclusion of a time field in each audit record. The field value \ 
is an integer that represents the UNIX timestamp value indicating the date and \ 
time when the audit event was generated. The time field is supported only for \ 
JSON-format log files.

Deprecation and Removal Notes

The TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 connection protocols now are deprecated and support for \ 
them is subject to removal in a future MySQL version. (For background, refer to \ 
the IETF memo Deprecating TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1.) It is recommended that \ 
connections be made using the more-secure TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols. TLSv1.3 \ 
requires that both the MySQL server and the client application be compiled with \ 
OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher.

On the server side, this deprecation has the following effects:

If the tls_version system variable is assigned a value containing a deprecated \ 
TLS protocol during server startup, the server writes a warning for each \ 
deprecated protocol to the error log.

If a client successfully connects using a deprecated TLS protocol, the server \ 
writes a warning to the error log.

On the client side, the deprecation has no visible effect. Clients do not issue \ 
a warning if configured to permit a deprecated TLS protocol. This includes:

Client programs that support a --tls-version option for specifying TLS protocols \ 
for connections to the MySQL server.

Statements that enable replicas to specify TLS protocols for connections to the \ 
source server. (CHANGE MASTER TO has a MASTER_TLS_VERSION option.)

Packaging Notes

Binary packages that include curl rather than linking to the system curl library \ 
have been upgraded to use curl 7.77.0.

The bundled lz4 library was upgraded to version 1.9.3.

Bugs Fixed

InnoDB: A deadlock between a user thread and purge thread involving a undo log \ 
page and rollback segment page occurred after an undo tablespace truncate \ 
operation was initiated. The deadlock caused a long semaphore wait and an \ 
eventual failure.

InnoDB: An integer underflow issue was addressed in the InnoDB mecached plugin \ 
sources.

InnoDB: An index with a key prefix length greater than 767 bytes was permitted \ 
on a table defined with the REDUNDANT row format, exceeding the index key prefix \ 
length limit for that row format. The ALTER TABLE operation that added the index \ 
validated the index key prefix length for the row format defined by the \ 
innodb_default_row_format variable instead of the actual row format of the \ 
table. The fix ensures that index key prefix length is validated for the correct \ 
row format.

InnoDB: An online buffer pool resizing operation freed the previous buffer pool \ 
page hash, conflicting with a concurrent buffer pool lookup that required the \ 
previous page hash.

InnoDB: Numerous system temporary table pages at the tail of the buffer pool \ 
flush list caused a performance degradation. The flush_list_mutex was held while \ 
the flush list scan traversed over system temporary table pages. The flush list \ 
scan now excludes system temporary table pages.

InnoDB: A binary log rotation deadlock occurred on a system using \ 
statement-based replication where there was high number of concurrent update \ 
operations and low innodb_thread_concurrency setting.

Replication: When the system variable \ 
replication_optimize_for_static_plugin_config was set, the plugins for Group \ 
Replication and semi-synchronous replication could not be uninstalled cleanly on \ 
server shutdown.

Replication: A deadlock could occur when START GROUP_REPLICATION and STOP \ 
GROUP_REPLICATION statements were issued at the same time that a view change was \ 
taking place for the group.

Replication: A deadlock could occur if a STOP GROUP_REPLICATION statement was \ 
issued when a replication channel on a group member was attempting to commit a \ 
transaction. The server now rolls back the transaction immediately if it cannot \ 
acquire the relevant lock, rather than waiting for the lock and the commit to \ 
complete and causing the deadlock.

Replication: On a multithreaded replica, the reference to the active event was \ 
sometimes managed incorrectly when retrying a transaction.

Replication: Replica servers now check and validate the transaction ID part of a \ 
GTID before applying and committing the transaction associated with it.

Replication: Replication could stop on a multithreaded replica if a unique \ 
secondary key was omitted from the writeset hashes used to compute transaction \ 
dependencies, leading to errors when executing the transactions on the \ 
multithreaded replica. Write set hashes now always include unique secondary keys \ 
even if they are not included in the read set and write set.

JSON: Passing NULL to a stored procedure expecting a JSON parameter led to an \ 
assertion failure in debug builds.

Replication could fail if a DML statement was executed immediately after an XA \ 
transaction was rejected or forced to rollback due to a deadlock.

The mysql_change_user() C API function did not properly parse the \ 
COM_CHANGE_USER packet, which could result in silent failure to process optional \ 
query attributes that may have been supplied prior to the mysql_change_user() \ 
call. Thanks for René Cannaò for the contribution.

Repreparation of a prepared statement at the beginning of an implicit \ 
transaction could cause an ER_GTID_NEXT_TYPE_UNDEFINED_GROUP error.

An out-of-memory error occurred when loading large amounts of data into tables \ 
with full-text search indexes. Not all of the memory allocated to the full-text \ 
search cache was accounted for when inserting data into the full-text search \ 
auxiliary tables.

A secondary index over a virtual column became corrupted when the index was \ 
built online.

For UPDATE statements, we fix this as follows: If the virtual column value of \ 
the index record is set to NULL, then we generate this value from the cluster \ 
index record.

Boolean system variables could be assigned a negative value.
