Impact
This vulnerability enables a high privileged attacker with network access to cause a hang or repeatable crash of the MySQL Server or MySQL Cluster, resulting in a complete denial of service. The flaw stems from uncontrolled crashes in the replication component, allowing the attacker to trigger an instability that brings the database services offline. While data integrity and confidentiality are unaffected, the availability of the database for all users and dependent applications is severely impaired.
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 are affected, as are 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.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 indicates moderate impact with high privileges required and low attack complexity. The EPSS score indicates an exploitation probability below 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is network-based through multiple MySQL protocols, as the description states that high privileged attackers with network access can exploit the flaw to crash the services.
