Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.31 and earlier and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote administrators to affect availability via vectors related to Server: InnoDB.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2927 advisory.

    MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. For all practical purposes, MariaDB is     binary-compatible with MySQL.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: rh-mariadb100-mariadb (10.0.28).

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was discovered that the MariaDB logging functionality allowed writing to MariaDB configuration files.
    An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to     run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server. (CVE-2016-6662)

    * A race condition was found in the way MariaDB performed MyISAM engine table repair. A database user with     shell access to the server running mysqld could use this flaw to change permissions of arbitrary files     writable by the mysql system user. (CVE-2016-6663, CVE-2016-5616)

    * This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server. Information about these flaws     can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section.

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.7.x prior to 5.7.14 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when selecting full-text index information schema tables for a deleted table.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered during the handling of 'ALTER TABLE' operations on a table with an indexed virtual column.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in a library used by MySQL.  Specifically, the Henry Spencer regex Library (rxspencer) contains an overflow condition that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact that may include a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the DML subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Memcached subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Performance Schema subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the RBR subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Security:Audit subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.32 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists in the 'NAME_CONST()' function that is triggered during the handling of certain arguments.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when selecting full-text index information schema tables for a deleted table.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in a library used by MySQL.  Specifically, the Henry Spencer regex Library (rxspencer) contains an overflow condition that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact that may include a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.

 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.27. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10027-release-notes advisory.

  - Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through 5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x     before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before     5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create arbitrary configurations and bypass     certain protection mechanisms by setting general_log_file to a my.cnf configuration. NOTE: this can be     leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloc_lib. NOTE: the affected MySQL     version information is from Oracle's October 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that     the issue was silently patched in MySQL 5.5.52, 5.6.33, and 5.7.15. (CVE-2016-6662)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.50 and earlier, 5.6.31 and earlier, and 5.7.13 and earlier     allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML. (CVE-2016-5612)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.31 and earlier and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote     administrators to affect availability via vectors related to Server: InnoDB. (CVE-2016-5630)

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

    (CVE-2016-5631)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Performance     Schema subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-5633, CVE-2016-8290)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the RBR subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5634)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Audit     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-5635)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Replication     subcomponent that allows a local attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-8284)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Replication     subcomponent that allows a authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-8287)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent     that allows a local attacker to impact integrity and     availability. (CVE-2016-8289)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in InnoDB when     selecting full-text index information schema tables for     a deleted table. An authenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a segmentation fault.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in InnoDB when     handling ALTER TABLE operations on tables that have an     indexed virtual column. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause an assertion failure,     resulting in a server crash.
