SCA: security update for org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client (GHSA-4jq2-8v3c-97w8)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 478069

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 3.5.11, the MariaDbPoolConnection.recover() and
MariaDbPoolPinnedConnection.recover() implementations trusted the gtrid_length and bqual_length columns
returned by XA RECOVER. The methods allocated and split Xid byte arrays without validating the lengths
against Xid.MAXGTRIDSIZE, Xid.MAXBQUALSIZE, or the actual data payload. A malicious or compromised server,
or a machine-in-the-middle attacker, could cause large allocations, NegativeArraySizeException, or
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException during XA recovery. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.7, 3.4.5, and
3.5.11. (CVE-2026-119280)

Solution

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