medium Nessus Plugin ID 167849

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.2.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10-2-18-release-notes advisory.

- Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Connection Handling).
Supported versions that are affected are 5.6.42 and prior, 5.7.24 and prior and 8.0.13 and prior.
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the MySQL Server executes to compromise MySQL Server.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2503)

- Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: InnoDB). Supported versions that are affected are 5.7.33 and prior and 8.0.23 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-2021-2174)

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

Solution
