# MySQL Server InnoDB flaw lets a low-privileged user crash the server

A flaw in the InnoDB storage engine of MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster can be triggered over the network by a low-privileged account. A successful attack causes a hang or repeatable crash, which takes the database offline.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Run `SELECT VERSION();` in the MySQL client and compare against the affected ranges: MySQL Server 8.4.0 to 8.4.12, 9.7.0 to 9.7.3, 26.7.0 to 26.7.1; MySQL Cluster 8.0.0 to 8.0.49, 8.4.0 to 8.4.12, 9.7.0 to 9.7.3, 26.7.0 to 26.7.1.

## Fix

- Upgrade MySQL Server or MySQL Cluster to a release after the affected ranges listed above; the sources do not name the fixed version numbers.
