MariaDB 10.1.x < 10.1.42 Denial Of Service Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 131289

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.42. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer and PS). An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of MySQL Server.

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

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 10.1.42 or later.
