Description
at least on Debian and RHEL /var/lib/mysql is 0755 (rwxr-xr-x), so world readable and executable, meaning anyone with shell access can see all schema names. Which might be an issue on shared hosting that provides shell access. And 0700 (rwx------) would be a more prudent setting.
On the other hand, as it's that way basically everywhere, there might be tools relying on it.
