CVE-2024-21218

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 Oracle MySQL Server and is caused by incorrect clearance or release of resources. It allows a high-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, resulting in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server.

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 the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
