NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mariadb package and not the mariadb package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

MariaDB Server before 10.7 is vulnerable to Denial of Service. In extra/mariabackup/ds_compress.cc, when an error occurs (pthread_create returns a nonzero value) while executing the method create_worker_threads, the held lock is not released correctly, which allows local users to trigger a denial of service due to the deadlock.
