The federated engine in MySQL 5.0.x before 5.0.51a, 5.1.x before 5.1.23, and 6.0.x before 6.0.4, when performing a certain SHOW TABLE STATUS query, allows remote MySQL servers to cause a denial of service (federated handler crash and daemon crash) via a response that lacks the minimum required number of columns.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can crash older MySQL servers when they use the FEDERATED storage engine and receive a malformed response from a remote MySQL server. The business impact is service interruption, not data theft, based on the supplied description. Exposure is mainly legacy MySQL environments that still use FEDERATED tables. Likely limited to legacy MySQL installations using the FEDERATED engine with remote MySQL servers. Systems not using FEDERATED tables are less likely to be exposed. The bundle provides no CPE detail or current vendor lifecycle status. Treat as a targeted legacy availability risk. Prioritize if critical services still depend on old MySQL with FEDERATED tables; otherwise handle through legacy platform cleanup and patch verification. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MySQL to 5.0.51a, 5.1.23, 6.0.4, or later as applicable.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva, Ubuntu, or rPath.; Identify and retire unsupported legacy MySQL 5.0, 5.1, or 6.0 deployments..
