MySQL MMM is used to perform monitoring, failover and management of MySQL master-master replication configurations. By using MySQL MMM (Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL) it ensures that only one node is writeable at a time. Using MySQL MMM an end user can also choose to move their Virtual IP addresses to different servers depending on their replication status.

Multiple exploitable remote command injection vulnerabilities exist in the MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager (MMM) mmm_agentd daemon 2.2.1. mmm_agentd commonly runs with root privileges and does not require authentication by default. A specially crafted MMM protocol message can cause a shell command injection resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the mmm_agentd process. An attacker that can initiate a TCP session with mmm_agentd can trigger these vulnerabilities. Detailed vulnerability information can be found here.
