CVE-2024-20993

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MySQL Server versions 8.0.35 and prior MySQL Server versions 8.2.0 and prior

Description The issue is related to the Server: Optimizer 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 the MySQL Server, resulting in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of the MySQL Server.

Recommendations For MySQL Server versions 8.0.35 and prior, update to a version later than 8.0.35 to resolve the issue. For MySQL Server versions 8.2.0 and prior, update to a version later than 8.2.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
