CVE-2015-4826

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: Types subcomponent of the MySQL database management system. It allows a remote attacker to perform unauthorized reading of data, affecting confidentiality. The vulnerability can be easily exploited by a high-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols, potentially leading to a hang or complete denial of service (DOS) 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 access to the Server: Types subcomponent to minimize the risk of exploitation.
