Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2015-5401 is a remote denial-of-service issue in older Teradata Gateway and TD Express releases. A malformed CONFIG REQUEST message can crash the database. The main business risk is outage of Teradata-backed analytics or data warehouse services, not confirmed data theft or code execution. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running affected Teradata Gateway or TD Express versions with the Gateway service reachable by untrusted or broad internal networks. Public internet exposure would materially increase urgency. Treat as high priority where Teradata supports critical reporting, analytics, billing, or operational decision systems. The issue is availability-focused, but a database crash can still create significant business disruption. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Teradata Gateway to 15.00.03.02-1, 15.10.00.01-1, or later as applicable.; Upgrade TD Express to 15.00.02.08_Sles10, 15.00.02.08_Sles11, or later as applicable.; Check current Teradata vendor guidance before scheduling production remediation..
