CVE-2010-3839
First published: Wed Oct 06 2010(Updated: )
A flaw in MySQL versions prior to 5.1.51 [1] was reported [2] that could allow an authenticated user to cause the MySQL server to enter an infinite loop by creating a query with nested JOINs when used from stored procedures and prepared statements. [1] <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-51.html">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-51.html</a> [2] <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53544">http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53544</a> This affects MySQL 5.x, but MySQL 4.x and early do not have support for stored procedures. This causes CPU consumption around 95-100%, however connections and queries to the database can continue. Killing the query itself is ineffective, and even a 'service mysqld restart' will fail unless the mysqld process that is handling the query is forcibly killed.
