| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Oracle MySQL versions 5.5.31 and earlier
Oracle MySQL versions 5.6.11 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to errors in the Optimizer code of the MySQL database management system. It allows a remote attacker to affect the availability of the system via unknown vectors. Successful exploitation can result in the ability to cause a hang or, in some cases, a crash of the MySQL Server. The vulnerability can be exploited by a high-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols, potentially leading to a complete denial of service (DOS) of the MySQL Server.
Recommendations
For Oracle MySQL versions 5.5.31 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.5.31 to resolve the issue.
For Oracle MySQL versions 5.6.11 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.6.11 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Optimizer component until a patch is available.
