Probes for MySQL under Linux?

Hi there,

I just noticed a few probes for MySQL from "cgmd70181.chello.nl" against our
Linux router. A quick search on two different CERT sites produced no hits.

Are there any known vulnerabilities of MySQL so that I can be confident it
really was a hacking attempt? This is just out of curiosity, I definitely
won't consider complaining about half a dozen probes. :-)

And no, I'm not running MySQL, but I've now updated my firewall rules so that
should I ever run MySQL I'm prepared. :-)

Ralf
