Notes

iconstantin

since mysql versions 5.7 and earlier are no longer supported upstream, we are unable to update them to address security issues, marking as ignored. mariadb 5.5, 10.0, 10.1, and 10.3 are end of life and no longer supported upstream - marking as ignored.

mdeslaur

no indication mysql is affected, marking as not-affected for now
