Percona XtraBackup any version

In Percona XtraBackup (PXB) through 2.2.24 and 3.x through 8.0.27-19, a crafted filename on the local file system could trigger unexpected command shell execution of arbitrary commands.

Percona XtraBackup before 2.4.20 unintentionally writes the command line to any resulting backup file output. This may include sensitive arguments passed at run time. In addition, when --history is passed at run time, this command line is also written to the PERCONA_SCHEMA.xtrabackup_history table.

The version checking subroutine in percona-toolkit before 2.2.13 and xtrabackup before 2.2.9 was vulnerable to silent HTTP downgrade attacks and Man In The Middle attacks in which the server response could be modified to allow the attacker to respond with modified command payload and have the client return additional running configuration information leading to an information disclosure of running configuration of MySQL.

xbcrypt in Percona XtraBackup before 2.3.6 and 2.4.x before 2.4.5 does not properly set the initialization vector (IV) for encryption, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from encrypted backup files via a Chosen-Plaintext attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-6394.

Percona XtraBackup before 2.1.6 uses a constant string for the initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for local users to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms and conduct plaintext attacks.
