Release highlights¶
Percona Server for MySQL 8.4.10-10¶
Percona Server for MySQL 8.4.10-10 introduces the following new features and improvements:
-
Integrates the new Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) library into the key management component.
-
Enhances Thread Pool statistics by adding new status variables for queue monitoring and wait time analysis.

-
Adds JSONL (JSON Lines) output format for Audit Log Filter.
-
Increases the verbosity of the data dictionary upgrade process, making it easier to diagnose issues that occur during upgrade.
-
Logs SQL statements for the Audit Log Filter
table_accessclass and thereadandinsertsubclasses. -
Flushes the audit log buffer on server shutdown when the
ASYNCHRONOUSlogging strategy is in use, preventing the loss of buffered events. -
Reduces memory pressure in the Audit Log Filter component caused by VFS buffering.
-
Aligns the
audit_log_filter.format=NEWoutput between the 8.0 plugin and the 8.4 component. -
Optimizes performance for
mem_root_deque.

-
CVE-2026-46861: A vulnerability in MySQL NDB Cluster (NDB Operator) allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to access or modify critical data, with potential scope change impact (CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.6).
-
CVE-2026-46862: A vulnerability in MySQL Router allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to cause a hang or repeatable unexpected exit of MySQL Router (CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5).
-
CVE-2026-46863: A vulnerability in MySQL Server connection handling allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to cause a hang or repeatable unexpected exit of the server (CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5).

-
CVE-2026-46871: A vulnerability in MySQL Shell (Shell for VS Code) allows a low-privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to access critical data (CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5).
MySQL 8.4.10¶
Improvements and bug fixes provided by Oracle for MySQL 8.4.10 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:
-
Connection attribute parsing could read a length-encoded size field before verifying that the complete field was present in the packet, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A size check is now performed before reading the field. (Bug #39116965)
-
A regression in row size estimation for
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSEDtables could causeCREATE TABLEto fail withRow size too largefor tables that were accepted in earlier releases. (Bug #39129182, Bug #120323) -
Under certain circumstances, when calculating the maximum possible index record size, an assertion failure could occur. (Bug #85060, Bug #25579578)

Builds and packaging¶
-
Percona Server for MySQL releases include a mixture of PGO and non-PGO builds. Where Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) is enabled, the compiler uses runtime profiling data from representative workloads to guide optimization, which can improve throughput and reduce latency compared with non-PGO builds.
-
See Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and non-PGO builds for benefits, considerations, and which build you receive for your platform.
Known issues and limitations¶
- In 8.4.x environments, the ProxySQL binlog reader can fail to initialize because it uses legacy commands, such as SHOW MASTER STATUS. Some internal counters also use outdated terminology. To address most terminology issues, enable the terminology_use_previous system variable on the database server. This workaround addresses only terminology compatibility and may not fix all failures.
