Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU63827
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46669
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the convert_const_to_int() function when processing BIGINT data type. A remote attacker can trigger use-after-free error and perform a denial of service attack.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU60555
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24048
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the storage engine when processing CONNECT queries. A remote authenticated user can send a specially crafted SQL query to the affected database instance, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
