MariaDB: Use-after-free with a large number of SYS_REFCURSOR's

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 04.09.2026 Published: 16.10.2026 Updated: 16.10.2026

MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From 12.3.1 until 12.3.3 and 13.0.2, SYS_REFCURSOR handling is affected because cursor-array reallocation can leave stale references in routine contexts. A low-privileged attacker can open a large number of SYS_REFCURSORs and then fetch one to trigger a use-after-free that can enable remote code execution when combined with another vulnerability. This issue is fixed in versions 12.3.3 and 13.0.2.
