| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in MariaDB Server. When the `caching_sha2_password` authentication plugin is installed and used by some user accounts, a low-privileged authenticated user can send a specially crafted large packet. This can cause the server to crash due to an issue with the `sha256_crypt_r` function's use of `alloca`, a function for allocating memory on the stack. This vulnerability leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the database server unavailable.
