Impact
A flaw in the Clone Plugin of Oracle MySQL Server and Cluster allows an attacker with high privileges and network access to deliberately cause the database service to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 and affects only availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unchanged.
Affected Systems
Oracle MySQL Server version 8.4.0‑8.4.12, 9.7.0‑9.7.3, 26.7.0‑26.7.1 and Oracle MySQL Cluster version 8.0.0‑8.0.49, 8.4.0‑8.4.12, 9.7.0‑9.7.3, 26.7.0‑26.7.1 are impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score indicates a moderate severity focused on availability. The EPSS score is < 1%, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker would require network connectivity to the MySQL instance and elevated privileges, likely an account with administrative rights; the attack can be performed through multiple protocols and would immediately lead to a service hang or crash, causing disruption to dependent applications.
