NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that this is only a vulnerability when the administrator does not follow recommendations in the product's installation documentation. NOTE: it could be argued that this should not be included in CVE because it is a configuration issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-16"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2013-02/msg00000.html","http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2012/Dec/6","http://secunia.com/advisories/53372","http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201308-06.xml","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/12/02/3"],"products":["mariadb:mariadb","oracle:mysql"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:27:27.940201468+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2012-5613","score":0.31664,"percentile":0.98294,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
