Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is a vulnerability in MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster that allows a high-privileged attacker with network access to cause a denial of service (DoS) by crashing or hanging the server. The attack requires significant privileges and is difficult to exploit but can lead to repeated crashes.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability affects MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster versions listed. Detection requires checking installed versions against affected releases. Use commands like 'mysql --version' or 'mysqld --version' to identify installed MySQL versions. For MySQL Cluster, check 'ndb_mgmd --version' or 'ndbd --version'. Compare outputs with affected versions (8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1 for Server; 8.0.0-8.0.47, 8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1 for Cluster).

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could disrupt database operations by causing MySQL Server or Cluster to crash repeatedly, leading to downtime and loss of availability for applications relying on the database.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability causes denial-of-service (DoS) conditions in MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster, leading to system unavailability. Unauthorized downtime may violate compliance requirements for data availability in standards like GDPR (data processing integrity) and HIPAA (system availability for protected health information).

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster to versions not affected by this vulnerability. Specifically, update to versions beyond 8.4.10 for MySQL Server and 9.7.1 for MySQL Cluster.
