  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: InnoDB). Supported versions that are     affected are 8.0.40 and prior, 8.4.3 and prior and 9.1.0 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows high privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server.
