CVE-2022-32082Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database crash via InnoDB reference-count assertion

Published Jul 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Reachable assertion in MariaDB's InnoDB dictionary cache allows attackers to crash the database server via unspecified vectors. The dict0dict.cc table-removal path requires a zero reference count and aborts mysqld when that invariant is violated. Public records do not disclose the exact triggering sequence or required privileges; the bounded consequence is a database-service interruption.
