Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess low-privileged authenticated access (PR:L) to MySQL Server or MySQL Cluster versions 26.7.0 through 26.7.1, reachable over one of the supported network protocols. The flaw resides in MySQL client programs and yields only a denial of service (server hang or repeatable crash). Limiting factors: valid credentials are mandatory (not remotely unauthenticated), attack complexity is high (AC:H) implying specific preconditions or timing must be met, and only the narrow 26.7.0-26.7.1 release branch is affected. No confidentiality or integrity compromise is possible, and no user interaction is required (UI:N).

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, availability-only flaw (CVSS 3.1 base 5.3) in MySQL Server/Cluster client programs. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) tells a consistent story: network-reachable but with high attack complexity (AC:H) and requiring low-privileged authentication (PR:L), yielding only a denial of service (hang or repeatable crash) with no confidentiality or integrity impact. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or POC was supplied in the intelligence set, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified - no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The combination of AC:H and PR:L materially lowers real-world risk versus the raw score: an attacker must already hold valid (even if low-privilege) credentials and satisfy non-trivial preconditions, which makes opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely. This is a patch-in-normal-cycle issue (addressed in Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update) rather than an emergency; the primary concern is availability for multi-tenant or internet-exposed MySQL deployments where even authenticated users should not be able to crash the server. Note the only reference is the Oracle CPU advisory plus an NVD/EUVD mirror - CWE is listed as N/A and no root-cause detail is provided, so the specific defect class is unknown.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged user who already holds valid MySQL credentials connects over one of the supported network protocols and issues a specially crafted sequence of client-program interactions that triggers the flaw, causing the server to hang or enter a frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS). Because attack complexity is high, success depends on meeting specific preconditions or timing, so exploitation is not reliably one-shot. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Denial of service in Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster 26.7.0-26.7.1 allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker with network access to hang or repeatedly crash the service through flaws in MySQL client programs. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.3 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), reflecting high attack complexity and availability-only impact. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the narrow affected release branch limits exposure.

RemediationAI

Oracle addresses this issue in the October 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html); upgrade MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster to a patched release later than 26.7.1 as specified in that advisory, because the provided data does not state the exact fixed version. Patch status is best described as patch available per vendor advisory. Until the upgrade can be applied, restrict network access to MySQL listeners to trusted hosts and network segments, remove or tightly scope low-privileged accounts that do not need client-program access, and monitor for repeated server hangs or crashes. These compensating controls reduce exposure but do not fix the flaw, and network restrictions can break legitimate client connectivity. Disabling unnecessary client programs or related features may reduce attack surface, but should be validated because it can affect administration, backups, and monitoring workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw resides in the Client programs component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster rather than in the core storage engine. Exploitation requires low-privileged authenticated access (PR:L) and network reachability over supported MySQL protocols; the high attack complexity (AC:H) indicates that specific preconditions, timing, or protocol-state conditions must be met. No CWE is assigned, so the precise root-cause class is not published, but the availability-only impact (A:H with C:N/I:N) is consistent with resource exhaustion or improper handling in client-side parsing or connection logic that can hang or crash the server. Only the 26.7.0-26.7.1 branch is in scope, according to the Oracle advisory and ENISA EUVD data, and no CPE strings were supplied in the available intelligence.
