Stack-data disclosure via unchecked authentication length
Published Jun 6, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Use of uninitialized memory in GitHub Trilogy before 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to read up to 12 bytes of client stack data. The trilogy_parse_handshake_packet function accepts server-supplied auth_data_len values other than the required 21 bytes, leaving part of the handshake scramble uninitialized before later authentication processing returns stack contents. Exploitation requires the client to connect to an attacker-controlled MySQL-compatible server, and the reported consequence is disclosure of at most 12 stack bytes.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
