Impact
The vulnerability lies in the GIS component of the MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster products. A low‑privileged attacker who can reach the database over the network can send specially crafted requests via supported protocols. This causes the server engine to hang or crash, resulting in a complete denial of service for all users of that instance. The flaw is a medium‑severity issue with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 and a vector highlighting only availability impact. The vulnerability aligns with CWE‑284 (Improper Access Control), and CWE‑617 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer).
Affected Systems
Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster versions 26.7.0 through 26.7.1 contain the flaw. Both the standalone server and the clustered deployment are affected, as the code path is shared by the GIS component across these products.
Risk and Exploitability
The EPSS score is less than 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating that no widespread exploitation has been observed. The CVSS base score is 6.5, indicating moderate severity. Nonetheless, the attack can be performed over the network by an unauthenticated or low‑privileged attacker with only modest effort, making it a viable target for automated intrusion attempts. The impact is limited to availability, but a successful exploit would bring database services to a halt, disrupting dependent applications.
