Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of MySQL Cluster running on the remote host is 7.2.x prior to 7.2.27. It is, therefore, affected by an overflow condition in the NDBAPI subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to update, insert, or delete arbitrary data.
