Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are affected?
Affected supported releases are MySQL Server 8.4.0 through 8.4.12, 9.7.0 through 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1. MySQL Cluster is affected in 8.0.0 through 8.0.49, 8.4.0 through 8.4.12, 9.7.0 through 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1.
Does an attacker need credentials or user interaction?
No. The vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access through multiple protocols, and it requires no user interaction. Exploitation is described as difficult, reflected by the high attack-complexity rating.
What could successful exploitation do?
A successful attack can cause a hang or a frequently repeatable crash resulting in complete denial of service. It can also provide unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data, with no confidentiality impact stated.
How can I determine whether my environment is exposed?
Identify whether MySQL Server or MySQL Cluster is running one of the listed affected versions and is reachable over the relevant network protocols. The available information does not identify a configuration prerequisite or indicate whether a default configuration is affected.
