CVE-2026-101753
Description
A flaw was found in the RAPID component of MySQL. A remote attacker with high privileges and network access can exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to hang or repeatedly crash. Successful exploitation results in a complete Denial of Service (DoS) of affected database services.
Statement
This vulnerability is evaluated as having a Moderate impact because exploiting it requires an attacker to possess high privileges and overcome high attack complexity to trigger a denial of service, without threatening data confidentiality or system integrity. Under default enterprise deployments, Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases are not vulnerable as they do not include the affected database versions or the proprietary RAPID query processing component. Where affected server deployments exist, exploitation is constrained to disrupting database availability through induced server hangs or crashes.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
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).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
While assertion is good for catching logic errors and reducing the chances of reaching more serious vulnerability conditions, an attacker can still cause a denial of service if they can trigger an assert statement, and if the scope of the assert() extends beyond the attacker's own session. For example, if a server handles multiple simultaneous connections, if an assert() occurs in one single connection that causes all other connections to be dropped, this could be a significant denial of service.
