Description
A flaw was found in MariaDB. An authenticated user can execute a database query containing embedded null bytes, which misleads the query cache information (qc_info) plugin. When the cached query details are later read from the information schema, the server accesses memory beyond the allocated buffer. This issue can lead to unauthorized information disclosure or cause a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the database server.
