The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.55. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 5.5.55 advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: DDL). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.54 and earlier, 5.6.35 and earlier and 5.7.17 and earlier. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of MySQL Server accessible data. (CVE-2017-3464)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: MyISAM). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.53 and earlier, 5.6.34 and earlier and 5.7.16 and earlier. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where 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. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 4.7     (Confidentiality impacts). (CVE-2017-3313)

  - Crash in libmysqlclient.so in Oracle MySQL before 5.6.21 and 5.7.x before 5.7.5 and MariaDB through     5.5.54, 10.0.x through 10.0.29, 10.1.x through 10.1.21, and 10.2.x through 10.2.3. (CVE-2017-3302)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: DML). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.54 and earlier, 5.6.35 and earlier and 5.7.17 and earlier. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise MySQL Server. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may significantly impact     additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause     a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2017-3308)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.54 and earlier, 5.6.35 and earlier and 5.7.17 and earlier. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise MySQL Server. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may significantly impact     additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause     a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2017-3309)
