After upgrading, re-apply `master_use_gtid` if you rely on it. Downgrading is not affected. See [Upgrading from MariaDB 11.8 to MariaDB 12.3](/docs/server/server-management/install-and-upgrade-mariadb/upgrading/mariadb-community-server-upgrade-paths/upgrading-from-mariadb-11-8-to-mariadb-12-3.md) for details. ## Security Vulnerabilities Fixed in MariaDB 12.3 For a complete list of security vulnerabilities (CVEs) fixed across all versions of MariaDB Community Server, see the [Security Vulnerabilities Fixed in MariaDB Community Server](/docs/server/security/cve/community-server.md) page. | CVE ID (with cve.org link) | CVSS base score (v3.1) | Community Server 12.3 Release | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [CVE-2026-44173](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44173) | 5.0 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | [CVE-2026-44172](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44172) | 5.0 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | [CVE-2026-44171](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44171) | 6.3 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | [CVE-2026-44170](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44170) | 5.0 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | [CVE-2026-44169](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44169) | 4.3 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | [CVE-2026-44168](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44168) | 8.0 | [MariaDB 12.3.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | ## List of All MariaDB 12.3 Releases | Date | Release | Status | Release Notes | Changelog | | ----------- | -------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 28 May 2026 | 12.3.2 | Stable (GA) | [Release Notes](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.2.md) | [Changelog](/docs/release-notes/community-server/changelogs/12.3/12.3.2.md) | | 12 Feb 2026 | 12.3.1 | RC | [Release Notes](/docs/release-notes/community-server/12.3/12.3.1.md) | [Changelog](/docs/release-notes/community-server/changelogs/12.3/12.3.1.md) | | 22 Dec 2025 | MariaDB 12.3 Preview | Preview | | | *This page is licensed: CC BY-SA / Gnu FDL* {% @marketo/form formid="4316" formId="4316" %}
