What is CVE-2024-21166?

A significant vulnerability has been identified in Oracle's MySQL Server, particularly affecting the InnoDB storage engine. This flaw presents a unique opportunity for high-privileged attackers with network access through multiple protocols to exploit the database system. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized actions, such as the creation, deletion, or modification of critical data. Furthermore, attackers may gain the ability to induce frequent crashes, leading to a complete denial of service for MySQL Server users. It is crucial for organizations using affected versions (8.0.36 and earlier, and 8.3.0 and earlier) to assess their security posture and implement necessary patches to mitigate this risk.
