SCA: security update for org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client (GHSA-797x-p4mc-jwpm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478098

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - MariaDB Connector/J is used to connect applications developed in Java to MariaDB and MySQL databases. From
 3.0.0 until 3.3.7, 3.4.5, and 3.5.10, the ReadableByteBuf.readLength() and
 ReadableByteBuf.readIntLengthEncodedNotNull() methods narrowed the protocol's unsigned 8-byte length-
 encoded integer to a Java int without checking that the value fit a non-negative integer. Values above
 Integer.MAX_VALUE could wrap to a negative or unrelated length that downstream allocation and read paths
 used. A malicious or compromised server, or a machine-in-the-middle attacker, could trigger
 NegativeArraySizeException, out-of-bounds failures, or oversized allocation behavior in client connection
 handling. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.7, 3.4.5, and 3.5.10. (CVE-2026-119279)

Solution

Update the org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client library and its related packages to version 3.3.7 or later.
