CVE-2015-4792

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 MySQL Server component, specifically in the Server: Partition subcomponent. It allows a remote attacker to affect the availability of the system. The vulnerability can be exploited via unknown vectors, and successful attacks can result in the ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the MySQL Server, leading to a denial of service.

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 component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
