Download MySQL 4.0.24

MySQL AB has released a new version of MySQL 4.0, a popular open source SQL database, and bumped the version number to 4.0.24. A number of improvements have been made and a number of potential security vulnerabilities have been fixed. The release notes therefore look like this:

Both the 4.1.10a and 4.0.24 releases include fixes for recently reported potential security vulnerabilities in the creation of temporary table file names and the handling of User Defined Functions (UDFs). We would like to thank Stefano Di Paola for finding and reporting these to us.
