Vulnerability Spotlight: MySQL Multi-Master Manager Remote Command Injection Vulnerability

Summary: Cisco Talos disclosed remote command injection vulnerabilities in the MySQL Multi-Master Manager (MMM) mmm_agentd daemon version 2.2.1, discovered by Matthew Van Gundy of Asig. The daemon commonly runs with root privileges and requires no authentication by default, so a specially crafted MMM protocol message from anyone able to open a TCP session with it can execute arbitrary shell commands at the process's privilege level.
What you should know: A management daemon that runs as root and accepts unauthenticated connections means any host that can reach mmm_agentd over TCP can execute commands with root privileges, turning a replication tool into a direct path to full control of the server.
