Description
The issue allows remote administrators to affect availability via vectors related to Server: Memcached. It is an easily exploitable vulnerability that allows a high privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, resulting in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server.

For Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.13 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.7.13 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Memcached component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
