The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a "your communication with the server will be encrypted" statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7417-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not correctly handle certain SQL queries. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1249)

    It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not correctly handle certain memory operations, which could     lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial     of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1251, CVE-2017-10788)

    It was discovered that libdbd-mysql-perl did not properly enforce SSL connections depending on the     mysql_ssl setting. A machine-in-the-middle attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof servers.
    (CVE-2017-10789)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional     (even though this setting's documentation has a your communication with the server will be encrypted     statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a     related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5344-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module, when configured with server-side prepared statement support,     was susceptible to operations that would result in improper memory access. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1249, CVE-2016-1251)

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module was susceptible to an operation that would result in improper     memory access, introduced through incorrect documentation and code examples. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash or potentially cause other, unspecified, impact.
    (CVE-2017-10788)

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module processed SSL/TLS settings in a way that did not fully     correlate with the respective documentation for each setting. An attacker could possibly use this to     perform a cleartext-downgrade attack. (CVE-2017-10789)

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Perl library for communicating with MySQL database, used in the 'mysql' commandline client is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack in SSL configurations and remote crash when connecting to hostile servers.

CVE-2017-10788

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use-after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples.

CVE-2017-10789

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a 'your communication with the server will be encrypted' statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.021-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-mysql-perl packages.
