CVE-2017-10384

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle MySQL versions 5.5.57 and earlier Oracle MySQL versions 5.6.37 and earlier Oracle MySQL versions 5.7.19 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an uncontrolled consumption of system resources in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL, specifically in the Server:DDL subcomponent. This allows an attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the MySQL Server. Successful attacks can result in the ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of the MySQL Server.

Recommendations For versions 5.5.57 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.5.57 to resolve the issue. For versions 5.6.37 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.6.37 to resolve the issue. For versions 5.7.19 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.7.19 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
