Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: C API). Supported versions that are affected are 5.5.55 and earlier and 5.6.35 and earlier. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL Server accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). NOTE: the previous information is from the April 2017 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that this issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack the authentication of users by leveraging incorrect ordering of security parameter verification in a client, aka, "The Riddle".

This update for mysql-community-server to version 5.6.36 fixes the following issues :

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-5483: Mysqldump failed to properly quote     certain identifiers in SQL statements written to the     dump output, allowing for execution of arbitrary     commands (bsc#1029014)

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.5.55 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 17.04 have been updated to MySQL 5.7.18.

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

Please see the following for more information:

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream version 5.5.55, which includes additional changes, such as performance improvements, bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.36. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in the     mysql_prune_stmt_list() function in client.c that allows     an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-3302)

  - A carry propagation error exists in the OpenSSL     component in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery     multiplication procedure when handling input lengths     divisible by but longer than 256 bits. This can result     in transient authentication and key negotiation failures     or reproducible erroneous outcomes of public-key     operations with specially crafted input. A     man-in-the-middle attacker can possibly exploit this     issue to compromise ECDH key negotiations that utilize     Brainpool P-512 curves. (CVE-2016-7055)

  - An authentication information disclosure vulnerability,     known as Riddle, exists due to authentication being     performed prior to security parameter verification. A     man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacker can exploit this     vulnerability to disclose sensitive authentication     information, which the attacker can later use for     authenticating to the server. (CVE-2017-3305)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the DML subcomponent     that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3308,     CVE-2017-3456)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer     subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3309, CVE-2017-3452, CVE-2017-3453)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Thread Pooling     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3329)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Memcached subcomponent     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause     a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3450)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the     'Security: Privileges' subcomponent that allow an     authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-3461, CVE-2017-3462,     CVE-2017-3463)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the DDL subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to update,     insert, or delete data contained in the database.
    (CVE-2017-3464)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Pluggable Auth     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3599)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Client mysqldump'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3600)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the OpenSSL     component when handling packets using the     CHACHA20/POLY1305 or RC4-MD5 ciphers. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted truncated packets, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-3731)

  - A carry propagating error exists in the OpenSSL     component in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring     implementation that may cause the BN_mod_exp() function     to produce incorrect results. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker with sufficient resources can exploit this to     obtain sensitive information regarding private keys.
    (CVE-2017-3732)

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