Echo: mariadb: security update to 1:11.8.9+ds-2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476125

Description

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

- MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From 10.6.1 until 10.6.28, 10.11.19,
11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2, the CONNECT engine plugin file-access UDFs json_file(), bson_file(),
jfile_make(), bfile_make(), and jbin_file() are affected because each does not enforce FILE privilege or
the secure_file_priv setting. A low-privileged attacker can trigger the issue by calling a CONNECT file-
access UDF with a filesystem path, then invoke a CONNECT file-access UDF to access a filesystem path and
read or write files that the database account is not authorized to access, subject to operating-system
permissions. This issue is fixed in versions 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2.
(CVE-2026-85985)
