CVE-2006-3081· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

mysqld in MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.18, 5.0.x before 5.0.19, and 5.1.x before 5.1.6 allows remote authorized users to cause a denial of service

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 25.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.9% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: mysql-dfsg-4.1 (Debian:3.1) 4.1.11a-4sarge5; mysql (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1; mysql-bench (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to mysql-dfsg-4.1 (Debian:3.1) 4.1.11a-4sarge5; mysql (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1; mysql-bench (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:4::as) 0:4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 or later.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
