Critical Description
When executing a query with a NUL byte ('\0') in it, SHOW PROCESSLIST will just show the query up to that byte, hiding the rest of the query. In the slow query log, on the other hand,
the full query is shown, and the NUL byte encoded as '^@'.
This can be used by a malicious user to try to hide SQL injection attacks.

$query = "SELECT user FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'root\0' OR SLEEP(100)";

$db->query($query);
