CVE-2013-1861 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting MariaDB and Oracle MySQL database servers, specifically versions 5.5.x, 5.3.x, 5.2.x, and 5.1.x, as well as various distributions like Canonical, Debian, and Red Hat. Remote attackers can crash the database by sending a crafted geometry feature with an excessive number of points, leading to a numeric calculation error during binary processing. With a CVSS score of 5.0, this vulnerability is of medium severity, requiring no authentication and having low attack complexity, but only resulting in a denial of service. While there is an ExploitDB entry for a denial-of-service exploit, there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
