mysql selecting into outfile in an insert

[Robin Wood <robin () digininja org>]

I've got a vulnerable web app with a MySQL backend where I can inject
into an INSERT query and I want to create a file. With a SELECT I
would use a UNION and then SELECT whatever INTO OUTFILE "filename" but
how do you do it with an INSERT query?

I tried:

INSERT INTO size VALUES (22, (SELECT "abc" INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/test")) ;

That executes and size gets a new row with 22 and "abc" in it but it
doesn't create the file.

I also tried an UPDATE and had the same problem:

UPDATE size SET big=22 WHERE big =  (SELECT "abc" INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/test");

The update happens where big="abc" but no outfile.

Can it be done?
