CVE-2007-5925

Status: ModifiedMedium (4)—💥 Exploit

The convert_search_mode_to_innobase function in ha_innodb.cc in the InnoDB engine in MySQL 5.1.23-BK and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (database crash) via a certain CONTAINS operation on an indexed column, which triggers an assertion error.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 4

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 11%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 96
Score date: 10/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
