# MariaDB Community Server 11.8.5 Corrective Release

MariaDB informs users of the immediate availability of **MariaDB Community Server 11.8.5**, a crucial corrective release for the 11.8 series.

This maintenance release is being issued to immediately address a critical data integrity issue identified in the previous MariaDB Community Server 11.8.4, which was part of the [Q4 2025 Maintenance Releases](/resources/blog/mariadb-community-server-q4-2025-maintenance-releases/).

> **Note for Enterprise Users:** MariaDB Enterprise Server release **11.8.3-1** is **not affected** by the critical bug fixed in this release.

### Critical Bug Fix in MariaDB Community Server 11.8.5

This corrective release is focused entirely on resolving a data integrity bug:

- [**MDEV-38068**](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-38068)**:** This issue caused a partial data deletion when using the DELETE statement on **MyISAM or Aria** tables under specific conditions. **InnoDB tables are not affected by this issue**. Specifically, when a DELETE statement included a WHERE clause with a non-unique indexed column compared for equality with a literal (col=const) and the execution plan showed a “range” operation on that index, the query could fail to delete all matching rows. **Users of MariaDB Community Server 11.8.4 are strongly advised to upgrade immediately to 11.8.5.**
