CVE-2026-101611

A flaw was found in the InnoDB component of MySQL. A remote attacker with high privileges and network access can exploit this vulnerability to cause the database server to hang or repeatedly crash. This issue results in a complete Denial of Service (DoS), disrupting normal operations and rendering the database unavailable.

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because successful exploitation requires high administrative privileges alongside complex conditions to trigger a denial of service. In standard enterprise deployments, MySQL services reside in restricted network segments with elevated database credentials tightly managed. While satisfying these prerequisite permissions can allow an attacker to cause the database daemon to hang or crash, confidentiality and integrity of stored records remain unaffected.
