Description
A flaw was found in the XML component of MySQL. This issue may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of MySQL Server depending on the vulnerability details. Refer to the Oracle CPU advisory for component-specific impact.
Statement
This vulnerability is classified as Moderate for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because exploitation requires an attacker to already possess high administrative privileges on the database server. While a successful exploit against the XML processing facility can compromise data integrity or trigger a denial of service, the prerequisite for elevated permissions significantly narrows the potential threat vector in standard deployments. Unauthenticated remote users and non-privileged database accounts cannot trigger this condition.
