CVE-2023-21980

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MySQL Server versions 5.7.41 and prior MySQL Server versions 8.0.32 and prior

Description A difficult to exploit vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL allows a low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and can result in takeover of MySQL Server.

Recommendations For MySQL Server versions 5.7.41 and prior, update to a version later than 5.7.41. For MySQL Server versions 8.0.32 and prior, update to a version later than 8.0.32. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Client programs component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
