MariaDB Server 10.4 before 10.4.33, 10.5 before 10.5.24, 10.6 before 10.6.17, 10.7 through 10.11 before 10.11.7, 11.0 before 11.0.5, and 11.1 before 11.1.4 calls fix_fields_if_needed under mysql_derived_prepare when derived is not yet prepared, leading to a find_field_in_table crash.

An update of the mariadb package has been released.

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

  - MariaDB Server 10.4 before 10.4.33, 10.5 before 10.5.24, 10.6 before 10.6.17, 10.7 through 10.11 before     10.11.7, 11.0 before 11.0.5, and 11.1 before 11.1.4 calls fix_fields_if_needed under mysql_derived_prepare     when derived is not yet prepared, leading to a find_field_in_table crash. (CVE-2023-52968)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has mariadb packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: InnoDB). Supported versions that are     affected are 8.0.40 and prior, 8.4.3 and prior and 9.1.0 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows high privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently     repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2025-21490)

  - MariaDB Server 10.4 before 10.4.33, 10.5 before 10.5.24, 10.6 before 10.6.17, 10.7 through 10.11 before     10.11.7, 11.0 before 11.0.5, and 11.1 before 11.1.4 calls fix_fields_if_needed under mysql_derived_prepare     when derived is not yet prepared, leading to a find_field_in_table crash. (CVE-2023-52968)

  - MariaDB Server 10.4 through 10.5.*, 10.6 through 10.6.*, 10.7 through 10.11.*, and 11.0 through 11.0.* can     sometimes crash with an empty backtrace log. This may be related to make_aggr_tables_info and     optimize_stage2. (CVE-2023-52969)

  - MariaDB Server 10.4 through 10.5.*, 10.6 through 10.6.*, 10.7 through 10.11.*, 11.0 through 11.0.*, and     11.1 through 11.4.* crashes in Item_direct_view_ref::derived_field_transformer_for_where. (CVE-2023-52970)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-698 advisory.

    MariaDB Server 10.4 before 10.4.33, 10.5 before 10.5.24, 10.6 before 10.6.17, 10.7 through 10.11 before     10.11.7, 11.0 before 11.0.5, and 11.1 before 11.1.4 calls fix_fields_if_needed under mysql_derived_prepare     when derived is not yet prepared, leading to a find_field_in_table crash. (CVE-2023-52968)

    Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Client: mysqldump).  Supported     versions that are affected are 8.0.36 and prior and  8.3.0 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Server executes to compromise     MySQL Server.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update, insert or     delete access to some of MySQL Server accessible data as well as  unauthorized read access to a subset of     MySQL Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS)     of MySQL Server. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.9 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts).  CVSS     Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). (CVE-2024-21096)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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 version of mariadb installed on the remote host is prior to 10.5.25-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2MARIADB10.5-2024-006 advisory.
