    Description

      If the server sends a column definition packet one of whose
      field lengths is 0xfb, net_field_length() returns NULL_LENGTH,
      and in response mthd_my_read_rows() sets cur->data[field] = 0.

      Later, unpack_fields() says

            uint length= (uint)(row->data[i+1] - row->data[i] - 1);
            if (!row->data[i] || row->data[i][length])
              goto error;
      

      since row->data[i+1] can be zero, length can be set to something
      unexpected, and row->data[i][length] may be an out of bounds read.

      I've attached a demo server.
