Impact
This CVE exposes a denial-of-service weakness in the GIS component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster. A remote attacker who already has high‑privilege access and can reach the database instance over one or more network protocols can trigger the flaw, causing a hang or a repeatable crash that brings the database service to a halt. The vulnerability impacts availability only; confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected. It is an example of improper authorization (CWE-284) and improper input validation (CWE-617) leading to uncontrolled resource exhaustion.
Affected Systems
Affected installations include Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster. The vulnerable releases are MySQL Server versions 9.7.0 through 9.7.3 and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1 and MySQL Cluster versions 9.7.0 through 9.7.3 and 26.7.0 through 26.7.1. Systems running these releases must verify their exact version to determine exposure.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 indicates a moderate severity availability vulnerability. The EPSS score is <1%, indicating a very low, but non‑zero, probability of exploitation, and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting no publicly known exploitation at present. Attackers require network access over multiple protocols and must already possess high‑privilege access to the database instance, conditions that reduce the likelihood of a successful exploitation in a typical environment. Nonetheless, the vulnerability can cause an uncontrolled service outage, compromising business continuity.
