CVE-2026-101618

A flaw was found in MySQL. A high-privileged remote attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability in the InnoDB component to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). Successful exploitation allows the attacker to trigger a hang or repeatable server crash, rendering the database unavailable.

Red Hat rates this vulnerability with Moderate severity because successful exploitation requires high-level administrative credentials on the MySQL database. While an authenticated administrator can cause the daemon to hang or terminate abruptly through InnoDB operations, the flaw cannot lead to unauthorized information disclosure or privilege escalation. Unauthenticated users and accounts with standard privileges cannot trigger this condition under typical configurations.
