Sensitive security issues can be sent directly to the persons responsible for MariaDB security: security [AT] mariadb (dot) org.

This first alpha version of MariaDB ColumnStore with version number 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 includes a few known vulnerabilities, which will be fixed in upcoming releases. As always, alpha versions of columnstore should never be used on production systems.

What this means in practice is that while testing the alpha version of ColumnStore, you should ensure that no one without proper authorization can get access to the hardware system as there are known issues that can be used to get access to the data.
