# MySQL Server: InnoDB flaw lets a privileged user crash the database

A flaw in the InnoDB storage engine of MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster can be triggered over the network by a highly privileged account. A successful attack hangs the server or crashes it repeatedly, causing denial of service with no data theft shown.

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

## How to check

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

## Fix

- Move MySQL Server to a release outside the affected ranges (the sources do not name the exact fixed versions; check the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory).
- Move MySQL Cluster to a fixed release outside the affected ranges.
