The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.57. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5557-release-notes advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Client programs). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.56 and earlier and 5.6.36 and earlier. Easily exploitable 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 update, insert or delete     access to some of MySQL Server accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL     Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of     MySQL Server. (CVE-2017-3636)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Client programs). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.57 and earlier, 5.6.37 and earlier and 5.7.19 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 access to     critical data or complete access to all MySQL Server accessible data. (CVE-2017-10379)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: DDL). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.57 and earlier 5.6.37 and earlier 5.7.19 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 ability to     cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2017-10384)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: DML). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.56 and earlier, 5.6.36 and earlier and 5.7.18 and earlier. Easily     exploitable 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-2017-3641)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: DDL). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.56 and earlier, 5.6.36 and earlier and 5.7.18 and earlier. Difficult to     exploit 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-2017-3653)
