Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.0-8.0.45, 8.4.0-8.4.8 and 9.0.0-9.6.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Oracle MySQL Server's Optimizer component allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker with network access to crash or hang the database server across three major version branches (8.0.0-8.0.45, 8.4.0-8.4.8, 9.0.0-9.6.0). The attack is network-reachable over multiple protocols but requires valid database credentials, limiting the exposed surface to authenticated users. No public exploit code exists and EPSS probability sits at 0.04% (12th percentile), making this a meaningful patch-cycle priority rather than an emergency response item, though availability impact for business-critical databases warrants timely remediation.
Technical ContextAI
MySQL Server's Optimizer is the subsystem that parses, plans, and selects execution strategies for SQL queries. CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) indicates that a specially crafted query can force the optimizer into an abnormal resource consumption state - most likely an exponential-complexity plan evaluation loop, unbounded memory growth, or a tight CPU spin - ultimately causing the server process to hang or crash. This class of defect typically arises from edge cases in join reordering, subquery flattening, or cost-model estimation that produce runaway internal recursion or allocation. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:mysql_server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) spans all Oracle MySQL Server installations, and the fact that all three active version branches (8.0.x, 8.4.x, and 9.x) are affected points to a defect residing in shared optimizer code rather than a version-specific regression. Distribution tags for Red Hat and SUSE indicate the vulnerability propagates to downstream Linux distribution packages.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to apply Oracle's patch released as part of the April 2026 Critical Patch Update, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html. Exact patched version numbers for the 8.0.x, 8.4.x, and 9.x branches are not independently confirmed in the available data - consult the CPU advisory directly for the precise upgrade targets within each branch. Red Hat and SUSE customers should additionally check their respective security errata for distribution-specific updated packages. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict database network access so that only trusted application service accounts can connect, and audit all MySQL user accounts to revoke query execution rights from any account that does not operationally require them; note this may require application-level changes. Deploying a database activity monitor or query firewall to detect and rate-limit unusually complex or resource-intensive queries is a viable compensating control, though it adds operational overhead and may generate false positives on legitimate analytical workloads.
