CVE-2012-5612
Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.5)—💥 Exploit
Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD commands.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Puntuación base: 6.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 21%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 97
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
