A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.3, and 5.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long scramble string.

The bug was discovered 07/05/2004. The weakness was presented 12/06/2004 by Chris Anley as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at kb.cert.org.
