Fedora 29 : community-mysql (2019-96516ce0ac)
Medium Nessus Plugin ID 128484
Synopsis
The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.
Description
**MySQL 8.0.17**
This update brings the latest MySQL 8.0.17 which fixes severe security issues. Now available as both a standard package and a module!
Release notes :
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-17.html
Mainatiner notes :
- The MySQL Modules are now built from the same sources as the base packages, so the should be identical
- The package is now being built with number of standard Fedora build flags that has not been used before. The package should be now more stable and secure.
- In Modules, the bug #1729133 still exists
- The MySQL 5.7 and 5.6 Modules may exists, but I'm out of capacity to maintain them. Whenever possible upgrade to MySQL 8.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Update the affected community-mysql package.
