CVE-2015-4870

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle MySQL Server versions 5.5.45 and earlier Oracle MySQL Server versions 5.6.26 and earlier

Description The issue is related to errors in the code of the Server: Parser subcomponent of the MySQL database management system. It allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited by a high-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols, resulting in the ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the MySQL Server.

Recommendations For Oracle MySQL Server versions 5.5.45 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.5.45 to resolve the issue. For Oracle MySQL Server versions 5.6.26 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.6.26 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
