Vulnerability in the MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: InnoDB). Supported versions that are affected are MySQL Server: 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1; MySQL Cluster: 8.0.0-8.0.49, 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3 and 26.7.0-26.7.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.4 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

A flaw was found in the InnoDB component of MySQL. This issue may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of MySQL Server depending on the vulnerability details. Refer to the Oracle CPU advisory for component-specific impact.

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because exploitation requires elevated administrative privileges and complex prerequisites, limiting the overall threat despite the potential for complete service denial. Under default enterprise deployments, MySQL services are not publicly exposed, and only authenticated database users holding high privileges can interact with the affected InnoDB storage engine routines. While an authenticated attacker meeting these conditions could trigger a server hang or crash, the flaw does not allow unauthorized exposure of sensitive database contents or arbitrary modification of stored records.
