Bug Description

Tracking bug to fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732306. This will be fixed in a future mysql-5.5 update. Users may run the 'mysql_secure_installation' command to remove the test database in the meantime. Please see 'man mysql_secure_installation' for details.

I also add the placeholder CVE to our tracker:

It is worth mentioning that in MySQL 5.7, the test database is removed by default. A root password is also randomly generated, and on first login the root user will be required to change it.

A password policy will also apply, by default: 8 characters in length.
