[jira] [Created] (AMBARI-3334) MySQL CREATE USER fails for exotic passwords

Bart J. Buter created AMBARI-3334:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: MySQL CREATE USER fails for exotic passwords
                 Key: AMBARI-3334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-3334
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.3
         Environment: CentOS 6.4
            Reporter: Bart J. Buter
            Priority: Minor


The Hive install failed, saying something like:
CREATE USER 'hive'@'' failed...
This was caused by the password including the semicolon ';' character. Apparently, the password isn't properly escaped. This suggest there's even a small SQL-injection security risk.
