Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
MariaDB Connector/J versions 3.0.0 to before 3.3.7, 3.4.0 to before 3.4.5, and 3.5.0 to before 3.5.11 are affected. A malicious or man-in-the-middle database server can cause the client to read arbitrary files from the client host and send them to the server, when the server controls identifiers that the driver reuses in later queries and allowLocalInfile is enabled (the default). Upgrade to 3.3.7, 3.4.5, 3.5.11 or later. Setting allowLocalInfile=false is a workaround if LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is not needed.
