Impact
A flaw in the InnoDB storage engine of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster can be triggered by a low privileged attacker who has network access to the database. The vulnerability allows such an attacker to cause the MySQL process to hang or crash repeatedly, resulting in a complete denial‑of‑service of the database service. The weakness involves improper input handling and resource allocation that lacks safeguards against malformed client requests, leading to loss of 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 impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 indicates a moderate severity with an availability impact. The EPSS score is less than 1%, suggesting a very low probability of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is over a network via supported MySQL protocols and requires only low client‑side privileges. Successful exploitation enables an attacker to repeatedly crash the database service, making it unavailable until a manual restart or fail‑over procedure is executed.
