Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported versions that are affected are MySQL Server: 9.0.0-9.7.1; MySQL Cluster: 9.0.0-9.7.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. 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
MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster versions 9.0.0 through 9.7.1 are vulnerable to a network-reachable denial-of-service condition in the query Optimizer component, exploitable by any low-privileged authenticated user. A successful attack causes a complete, repeatable hang or crash of the database server process, disrupting all connected clients. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not listed in CISA KEV), and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the MySQL Server Optimizer - the subsystem responsible for query planning, cost estimation, and execution path selection for SQL statements in both MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster. Affected products are identified by CPE strings cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:mysql_server and cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:mysql_cluster, spanning the full 9.x series from 9.0.0 to 9.7.1. No CWE identifier was assigned, leaving the precise root cause class unspecified; the crash or hang pattern is consistent with an unhandled edge case in optimizer logic such as an infinite loop, null dereference, or unguarded assertion during query plan evaluation. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the flaw is reachable over any supported MySQL network protocol - including TCP/IP and X Protocol - by any valid, low-privileged database session.
RemediationAI
Consult and apply the patch issued in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for July 2026 at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. An exact fixed version number was not specified in the available data - the CPU advisory must be consulted directly to identify the patched MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster release. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict database user grants to the minimum necessary and audit all low-privileged accounts that have network access to the MySQL instance, as any such account can trigger the flaw. Enforcing network perimeter controls to limit MySQL port access (default TCP/3306 and TCP/33060 for X Protocol) to known application hosts reduces the pool of potential exploiters, though it does not address the underlying vulnerability. MySQL's max_execution_time or wait_timeout settings may partially limit the duration of a hang-based DoS but will not prevent initial exploitation. These compensating controls carry trade-offs: overly aggressive connection or query timeouts may interfere with legitimate long-running analytical queries.
