Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.11 and earlier

Description The issue is related to errors in the code of the MySQL database management system, specifically in the JSON server component. It allows a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality of information. The vulnerability can be exploited by a highly privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as causing a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the MySQL Server.

Recommendations For Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.11 and earlier, consider restricting access to the JSON server component until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limit network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the JSON functionality in the affected MySQL Server versions until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
