MariaDB Named Pipe Permission Vulnerability (MDEV-24040) (Windows)

MariaDB is prone to a named pipe permission vulnerability.

With MariaDB running on Windows, when local clients connect to the server over named pipes, it's possible for an unprivileged user with an ability to run code on the server machine to intercept the named pipe connection and act as a man-in-the-middle, gaining access to all the data passed between the client and the server, and getting the ability to run SQL commands on behalf of the connected user. This occurs because of an incorrect security descriptor.

MariaDB versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.

Checks if a vulnerable version is present on the target host.

Update to version 10.1.48, 10.2.35, 10.3.26, 10.4.16, 10.5.7 or later.
