MySQL is is an open source relational database project, and is available for a number of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows. MySQL does not enable the 'bind-address' configuration directive by default, possibly allowing remote access to default installations of the server. The MySQL security documentation does, however, suggest restricting remote access to the server to only required hosts. This issue has been reported in the Windows binary release of MySQL. Other versions may share this default configuration, this has not however been confirmed.
