MySQL Cluster 7.2.x < 7.2.33 / 7.3.x < 7.3.21 / 7.4.x < 7.4.19 / 7.5.x < 7.5.10 Denial of Service Vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 133181

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of MySQL Cluster running on the remote host is 7.2.x prior to 7.2.33, 7.3.x prior to 7.3.21, 7.4.x prior to 7.4.19 or 7.5.x prior to 7.5.10. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the MySQL Cluster component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Cluster: ndbcluster/plugin). An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of MySQL cluster.

Solution
