CVE-2022-24052
Description
A flaw was found in MariaDB. Lack of input validation leads to a heap buffer overflow. This flaw allows an authenticated, local attacker with at least a low level of privileges to submit a crafted SQL query to MariaDB and escalate their privileges to the level of the MariaDB service user, running arbitrary code.
Statement
This flaw has been rated as Moderate impact because although privilege escalation is possible, the attack requires the attacker to be authenticated and have local access to MariaDB, and is constrained to the privileges of the service account.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
