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.
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: 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.
