Technical details

The Server: Optimizer component in MySQL contains an exploitable flaw that permits high-privileged attackers to trigger a denial of service condition via multiple protocols. Successful exploitation results in hangs or repeatable crashes of the database. The vulnerability requires prior authentication with high privileges and network access, but no additional user interaction.
