Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-1696 is an old Oracle MySQL Server issue that could let a remote authenticated database user disrupt service availability. The public record does not describe the exact vector, only that it relates to the Server Optimizer in MySQL 5.5.19 and earlier. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running MySQL 5.5.19 or earlier, especially where authenticated users or applications can connect remotely to the database service. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not documented as actively exploited here, but affected MySQL versions are obsolete and could create avoidable availability risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory MySQL servers and identify versions 5.5.19 or earlier.; Review Oracle April 2012 CPU and distribution advisories for vendor-approved updates.; Upgrade unsupported MySQL builds through trusted vendor packages..
