MySQL versions allow logged-in users to cause downtime

CVE-2013-2392 · published 13 years ago
Summary

Certain older MySQL releases (up to 5.1.68, 5.5.30, and 5.6.10) let someone with a valid account disrupt the server’s operation. This can affect any system that relies on those MySQL versions, including related MariaDB and Red Hat Linux installations. Apply the latest security updates or upgrade to a newer MySQL release to restore reliable service.
