Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation
  • To reduce exposure to this vulnerability, restrict network reachability to the MySQL database server so that only trusted hosts and application tiers can establish connections. 1. Restrict incoming traffic using firewalld to only authorized IP addresses: ```bash firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<trusted_ip>" port port="3306" protocol="tcp" accept' firewall-cmd --reload ``` 2. If remote database connections are not required, bind the MySQL daemon to the local loopback interface by adding the following line under the `[mysqld]` section in `/etc/my.cnf` or `/etc/my.cnf.d/mysql-server.cnf`: ```ini [mysqld] bind-address = 127.0.0.1 ``` Apply the configuration change by restarting the daemon: ```bash systemctl restart mysqld ``` Caveats: Restricting access to specific addresses or binding to localhost prevents unauthorized hosts from reaching the service, but external applications requiring database access must be explicitly permitted. Warning: Modifying firewall rules or restarting the mysqld service will terminate existing database sessions and temporarily disrupt connectivity for running services.
