Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : MySQL regression (USN-5823-3)

info Nessus Plugin ID 170762

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5823-3 advisory.

 USN-5823-1 fixed vulnerabilities in MySQL. Unfortunately, 8.0.32 introduced a regression in MySQL Router preventing connections from PyMySQL. This update reverts most of the changes in MySQL Router to 8.0.31 until a proper fix can be found.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.

 Original advisory details:

 Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes

 new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

 MySQL has been updated to 8.0.32 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and

 Ubuntu 22.10. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has been updated to MySQL 5.7.41.

 In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new

 features, and possibly incompatible changes.

 Please see the following for more information:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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