Oracle Mysql

CVE-2000-0981

MySQL Database Engine uses a weak authentication method which leaks information that could be used by a remote attacker to recover the password.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Oracle Mysql. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Oracle Mysql, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
