CVE-2024-21239

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MySQL Server versions 8.0.39 and prior MySQL Server versions 8.4.2 and prior MySQL Server versions 9.0.1 and prior

Description The issue is related to the InnoDB component of MySQL Server and can be easily exploited. It allows an attacker with high privileges and network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, potentially causing a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. The exploitation of this vulnerability may be related to incorrect clearance or release of resources.

Recommendations For versions 8.0.39 and prior, update to a version later than 8.0.39 to resolve the issue. For versions 8.4.2 and prior, update to a version later than 8.4.2 to resolve the issue. For versions 9.0.1 and prior, update to a version later than 9.0.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
