Frequently Asked Questions
Who can exploit this vulnerability?
An attacker needs high privileges and network access to the affected MySQL Server or MySQL Cluster instance through one of its supported protocols. No user interaction is required.
What is the expected impact of successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation can cause the server or cluster to hang or crash repeatedly, resulting in a complete denial of service. The provided CVSS vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.
Which upstream versions are affected?
Affected MySQL Server versions are 8.4.0 through 8.4.12, 9.7.0 through 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1. Affected MySQL Cluster versions are 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.
What can be done while a fix is unavailable?
Limit network access to the database service and restrict high-privilege MySQL or cluster accounts to only trusted administrators. This reduces the set of attackers that can meet the required network-access and privilege conditions.
