  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Installer product of Oracle MySQL (component: Installer: General). Supported
    versions that are affected are Prior to 1.6.8. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged
    attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Installer executes to compromise MySQL Installer.
    Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the
    vulnerability is in MySQL Installer, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change).
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification
    access to critical data or all MySQL Installer accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or
    frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Installer. Note: This patch is used in MySQL Server
    bundled version 8.0.35 and 5.7.44. (CVE-2023-22094)
