SCA: security update for mariadb (GHSA-r3rv-jm3r-62q2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473960

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- MariaDB Connector/Node.js is used to connect applications developed on Node.js to MariaDB and MySQL
databases. Prior to 3.2.5, 3.3.4, 3.4.7, and 3.5.4, text-protocol escaping always prefixes quotes with a
backslash and does not honor the session's NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode, including in Connection.escape().
When that mode is enabled, the backslash is an ordinary character, so an attacker-controlled placeholder
value can close the SQL string literal and inject arbitrary SQL with the application's database
privileges. The vulnerable configuration may be enabled server-wide, through connector initialization
options, or with an application-issued SET sql_mode; execute() and batch() use binary protocols and are
not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.5, 3.3.4, 3.4.7, and 3.5.4. (CVE-2026-107385)

Solution

Update the mariadb library and its related packages to version 3.2.5 or later.
