Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-2740 is a MySQL Server availability flaw in the XML server component. A low-privileged attacker who can reach MySQL over the network may crash or hang the server repeatedly. Sources describe denial of service, not data theft or data modification. Exposure is most likely where affected MySQL Server versions are reachable by low-privileged database users over network-accessible protocols. Internet-facing databases, shared hosting, multi-tenant environments, and broadly reachable internal MySQL services have higher business impact. Prioritize remediation for business-critical or externally reachable MySQL services because the impact is service outage. This is not described as data compromise, so urgency should be driven by uptime requirements and how broadly attackers can reach the database. Mitigation focus: Apply Oracle July 2019 CPU guidance or relevant OS vendor MySQL/MariaDB updates.; Upgrade beyond MySQL 5.6.44, 5.7.26, and 8.0.16 where applicable.; Restrict MySQL network access to trusted application hosts and administrators..
