Impact
The vulnerability resides in the InnoDB storage engine of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster, involving improper access control (CWE-284) and improper handling of resource bounds (CWE-617). An attacker with high‑privilege who can reach the database via network protocols can trigger a hang or failure that repeatedly crashes the instance. A successful exploitation results in loss of availability but does not affect confidentiality or integrity.
Affected Systems
Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster versions 9.7.0 through 9.7.3 and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1 are affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.9 marks the flaw as moderate in severity, affecting availability only. EPSS Score of < 1% indicates a very low but nonzero probability of exploitation. The flaw is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is network, requiring the attacker to send crafted protocol traffic to a privileged MySQL component. The threat surface is limited to systems where a high‑privilege attacker has network reach to the database.
