Impact
An exploitable flaw in the DDL component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster allows an attacker with high privileged access and network connectivity to repeatedly trigger a hang or crash of the database system. The CVSS vector explicitly indicates that confidentiality (C) and integrity (I) are not impacted, so the effect is limited to availability by causing the database services to stop until restarted. Successful exploitation can lead to prolonged downtime or the need for manual intervention to restore service.
Affected Systems
Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.4.0 through 8.4.12, 9.7.0 through 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1, as well as MySQL Cluster versions 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.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 indicates a moderate severity driven by availability impact. The EPSS score of <1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at the time of analysis. The attack vector is network‑based with high privileged access required to issue DDL commands. No data indicates widespread exploitation, and the vulnerability is not in CISA's KEV catalog, but an attacker who succeeds can repeatedly crash the database, potentially leading to extended downtime.
