Impact
The vulnerability arises in the InnoDB component of MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster. It allows a high‑privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to trigger a hang or repeatable crash of the database server, leading to a denial‑of‑service condition. The weakness involves improper access control (CWE‑284) and a flaw related to resource misuse (CWE‑617), resulting in a DoS impact on availability.
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; Oracle 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 are affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS base score of 4.9 indicates a moderate severity for availability impact. EPSS is <1% and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attacker requires network access and high privileges to trigger the crash through one of the supported protocols. A successful attack will cause the database system to become unresponsive, requiring a restart to recover.
