USN-32-1 fixed a database privilege escalation vulnerability; original advisory text:

"If a user was granted privileges to a database with a name containing an underscore ("_"), the user also gained the ability to grant privileges to other databases with similar names. (CAN-2004-0957)"

Recently a corner case was discovered where this vulnerability can still be exploited, so another update is necessary.
