**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** MySQL Client versions 5.7.28 and prior MySQL Client versions 8.0.18 and prior **Description** The issue is related to insufficient access control in the C API component of the MySQL Client. It can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service using the MySQL network protocol. The attacker, who does not need to be authenticated, can compromise the MySQL Client, resulting in the ability to cause it to hang or crash repeatedly, leading to a complete denial of service. **Recommendations** For versions 5.7.28 and prior, update to a version later than 5.7.28 to resolve the issue. For versions 8.0.18 and prior, update to a version later than 8.0.18 to resolve the issue.
