CVSS v2.0
6.8
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Oracle MySQL versions 5.5.57 and earlier
Oracle MySQL versions 5.6.37 and earlier
Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.11 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to an uncontrolled consumption of system resources in the MySQL Server component, specifically in the Server:Optimizer subcomponent. This allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the MySQL Server. Successful attacks can result in the ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of the MySQL Server.
Recommendations
For Oracle MySQL versions 5.5.57 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.5.57 to resolve the issue.
For Oracle MySQL versions 5.6.37 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.6.37 to resolve the issue.
For Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.11 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.7.11 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
