CWE-189Published: January 14, 2011· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

4.0
CVSS v3.1

Official Description

MySQL 5.1 before 5.1.51 and 5.5 before 5.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (mysqld server crash) by performing a user-variable assignment in a logical expression that is calculated and stored in a temporary table for GROUP BY, then causing the expression value to be used after the table is created, which causes the expression to be re-evaluated instead of accessing its value from the table.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2010-3835 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
