CVE-2021-46659: MariaDB before 10.7.2 allows an application crash because it does not recognize that SELECT_LEX::nest_level is local to each VIEW.

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.54% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: galera (AlmaLinux:8) 26.4.11-1.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87, 25.3.35-1.module_el8.6.0+3265+230ed96b; Judy (AlmaLinux:8) 1.0.5-18.module_el8.6.0+3139+3c630e87, 1.0.5-18.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87; mariadb (AlmaLinux:8) 3:10.5.16-2.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87, 3:10.3.35-1.module_el8.6.0+3265+230ed96b.
  • Mentioned 4 times in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to galera (AlmaLinux:8) 26.4.11-1.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87, 25.3.35-1.module_el8.6.0+3265+230ed96b; Judy (AlmaLinux:8) 1.0.5-18.module_el8.6.0+3139+3c630e87, 1.0.5-18.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87; mariadb (AlmaLinux:8) 3:10.5.16-2.module_el8.6.0+3072+3c630e87, 3:10.3.35-1.module_el8.6.0+3265+230ed96b or later.
