CVE-2022-21485

Data disclosure and partial service interruption

Published Apr 19, 2022 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

An undisclosed flaw in Oracle MySQL Cluster allows attackers with high privileges to read some data and partially interrupt service. Oracle identifies affected releases as 7.4.35 and earlier, 7.5.25 and earlier, 7.6.21 and earlier, and 8.0.28 and earlier but has not published the flawed code path or input-handling operation. Exploitation requires an adjacent physical communication segment and user interaction, limiting the impact to unauthorized reads of a data subset and partial service interruption.
