What is known
MariaDB v10.5 was discovered to contain a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via UDF Code in a Shared Object File, followed by a "create function" statement. NOTE: this is disputed by the MariaDB Foundation because no privilege boundary is crossed.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-26785, a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) affecting mariadb, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether mariadb is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
