Authenticated partial service interruption
Published Jul 16, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Denial of service in Oracle MySQL Server 8.0.37 and earlier or 8.4.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to partially interrupt service. Oracle has not disclosed the malformed input or incorrect operation within the Server Connection Handling component that triggers the availability loss. A low-privileged account and network access over the MySQL protocol are required, and the reported consequence is limited to a partial service interruption.
