CVSS v3.1
5.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
MySQL Client versions 5.6.46 and prior
MySQL Client versions 5.7.28 and prior
MySQL Client versions 8.0.18 and prior
Description
The issue is related to errors in resource release in the C API component of the MySQL Client product. It allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the MySQL Client. Successful attacks can result in the unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of the MySQL Client. The exploitation of this issue can be done remotely through the MySQL Protocol.
Recommendations
For versions 5.6.46 and prior, update to a version later than 5.6.46 to resolve the issue.
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.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Client to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix
Improper Resource Release
