Oracle MySQL Workbench < 8.0.23 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Jan 2021)

high Nessus Plugin ID 150416

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle MySQL Workbench installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 8.0.23. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the advisory.

- SQLite 3.32.2 has a use-after-free in resetAccumulator in select.c because the parse tree rewrite for window functions is too late. (CVE-2020-13871)

- The X.509 GeneralName type is a generic type for representing different types of names. One of those name types is known as EDIPartyName. OpenSSL provides a function GENERAL_NAME_cmp which compares different instances of a GENERAL_NAME to see if they are equal or not. This function behaves incorrectly when both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME. A NULL pointer dereference and a crash may occur leading to a possible denial of service attack.
(CVE-2020-1971)

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 Oracle MySQL Workbench version 8.0.23 or later.
