Oracle MySQL Connectors Multiple Vulnerabilities (Jan 2018 CPU)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 133045

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle MySQL Connectors installed on the remote host is Connector/NET 6.9.x prior to 6.9.11 or 6.10.x prior to 6.10.6, or Connector/ODBC 5.3.x prior to 5.3.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the January 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory:

- An unspecified vulnerability in Connector/NET subcomponent. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. (CVE-2018-2585)

- A vulnerability in the Connector/ODBC subcomponent's OpenSSL version due to a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. An authenticated, remote attacker with a large amount of resources may be able to exploit this to compromise confidentiality. (CVE-2017-3736)

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patches according to the January 2018 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
