The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.2.42. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10242-release-notes advisory.

  - MariaDB CONNECT Storage Engine Heap-based Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of MariaDB.
    Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing     of SQL queries. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data     prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-16190.
    (CVE-2022-24052)

  - MariaDB before 10.7.2 allows an application crash because it does not recognize that     SELECT_LEX::nest_level is local to each VIEW. (CVE-2021-46659)

  - The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop     forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain     elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point     encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has     invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the     certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a     denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they     can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Thus vulnerable situations include: - TLS clients     consuming server certificates - TLS servers consuming client certificates - Hosting providers taking     certificates or private keys from customers - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from     subscribers - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters Also any other applications that     use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS     issue. In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate     which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation which requires the     public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-     signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue     affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the     15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected     1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc). (CVE-2022-0778)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: C API). Supported versions that are     affected are 5.7.36 and prior and 8.0.27 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high     privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable     crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2022-21595)

  - MariaDB CONNECT Storage Engine Stack-based Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of MariaDB.
    Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing     of SQL queries. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data     prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-16191.
    (CVE-2022-24048)

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