    Description

      Apparently all tests that access the information_schema.processlist table would crash when the server is built with cmake -DWITH_ASAN, due to an out-of-bounds string access, reported like this:

      CURRENT_TEST: innodb.innodb_bug12400341
      mysqltest: At line 64: query 'select count(*) from information_schema.processlist' failed: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
      this one is something definitely outside InnoDB:

      The patch below works around the issue and allows the tests to pass (albeit with memory leaks ignored, because there is no ./mtr --sanitize option available):

      diff --git a/sql/sql_show.cc b/sql/sql_show.cc

                   Item_blob(thd, fields_info->field_name,
      -                      fields_info->field_length)))

             {
               DBUG_RETURN(0);
             }
      

      Note that in MariaDB 10.2, cmake -DWITH_ASAN does not work at all at the moment (the feature availability check fails).
