Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.x through 5.5.32 and 5.6.x through 5.6.12 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to Replication.

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.33. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5-5-33-release-notes advisory.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.70 and earlier, 5.5.32 and     earlier, and 5.6.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown     vectors related to Optimizer. (CVE-2013-3839)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.x through 5.5.32 and 5.6.x through 5.6.12 allows     remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to     Replication. (CVE-2013-5807)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10-0-5-release-notes advisory.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201409-04 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could possibly gain escalated privileges. A remote       attacker could send a specially crafted SQL query, possibly resulting in       a Denial of Service condition. A remote attacker could entice a user to       connect to specially crafted MySQL server, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update which has been documented in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2014:0189.

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update which has been documented in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2014:0173.

Updated mysql55-mysql packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section.
(CVE-2013-5807, CVE-2013-5891, CVE-2014-0386, CVE-2014-0393, CVE-2014-0401, CVE-2014-0402, CVE-2014-0412, CVE-2014-0420, CVE-2014-0437, CVE-2013-3839, CVE-2013-5908)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the MySQL command line client tool (mysql) processed excessively long version strings. If a user connected to a malicious MySQL server via the mysql client, the server could use this flaw to crash the mysql client or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the mysql client.
(CVE-2014-0001)

The CVE-2014-0001 issue was discovered by Garth Mollett of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.5.36. Refer to the MySQL Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list of changes.

All MySQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

(CVE-2014-0001)

Upstream does not issue any more security advisories for the MySQL 5.0 packages (mysql-5.0.* and related packages). 

The only trusted way to upgrade from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5 is by using MySQL 5.1 as an intermediate step. This is why the mysql51* Software Collection packages are provided. Note that the MySQL 5.1 packages are not supported and are provided only for the purposes of migrating to MySQL 5.5. You should not use the mysql51* packages on any of your production systems.

Specific instructions for this migration are provided by the upstream Deployment Guide.

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

(CVE-2014-0001)

The CVE-2014-0001 issue was discovered by Garth Mollett of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.5.36. Refer to the MySQL Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list of changes.

All MySQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to a new upstream version, 5.5.33, which includes additional changes, such as performance improvements, bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes for further details :

  -     http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-     32.html
  -     http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-     33.html

In addition this update fixes two issues affecting specifically the mysql-5.5 Debian package :

A race condition in the post-installation script of the mysql-server-5.5 package creates the configuration file '/etc/mysql/debian.cnf' with world-readable permissions before restricting the permissions, which allows local users to read the file and obtain sensitive information such as credentials for the debian-sys-maint to perform administration tasks. (CVE-2013-2162 )

Matthias Reichl reported that the mysql-5.5 package misses the patches applied previous in Debian's mysql-5.1 to drop the database 'test' and the permissions that allow anonymous access, without a password, from localhost to the 'test' database and any databases starting with'test_'. This update reintroduces these patches for the mysql-5.5 package.

Existing databases and permissions are not touched. Please refer to the NEWS file provided with this update for further information.

Update to MySQL 5.5.34, for various fixes described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-34.html

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.72 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.34.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Please see the following for more information:

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is 5.6.x older than 5.6.13.  As such, it is reportedly affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - InnoDB
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Replication

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.33.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Replication

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.6.13. Therefore, vulnerabilities likely exist in the following components :

 - InnoDB

  - Server Optimizer

  - Server Replication
