A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Percona XtraDB Cluster up to 5.5.41/5.6.32/5.7.14. Affected is an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The bug was discovered 09/12/2016. The weakness was shared 11/01/2016 by Dawid Golunski as MySQL / MariaDB / PerconaDB - Privilege Escalation / Race Condition Exploit [CVE-2016-6663 / OCVE-2016-5616] as confirmed mailinglist post (Full-Disclosure). The advisory is available at seclists.org. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2016-6663 since 08/10/2016. The exploitability is told to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The successful exploitation needs a authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The advisory points out:
An independent research has revealed a race condition vulnerability which affects MySQl, MariaDB and PerconaDB databases. The vulnerability can allow a local system user with access to the affected database in the context of a low-privileged account (CREATE/INSERT/SELECT grants) to escalate their privileges and execute arbitrary code as the database system user (typically 'mysql'). Successful exploitation would allow an attacker to gain full read/write access to all of the files (including configuration files) and databases belonging to the affected database server.
A public exploit has been developed by Dawid Golunski in ANSI C and been published immediately after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at legalhackers.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 50 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 95847 (Scientific Linux Security Update : mariadb on SL7.x x86_64), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 236167 (Red Hat Update for mariadb (RHSA-2016:2595)).
Upgrading to version 5.5.41-37.0, 5.6.32-25.17 or 5.7.14-26.17 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 2 days after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (95847) and Exploit-DB (40360). The entries 4597, 4598, 20222 and 79101 are related to this item.
