Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of mariadb installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.68-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2057 advisory.

- get_sort_by_table in MariaDB before 10.6.2 allows an application crash via certain subquery uses of ORDER BY. (CVE-2021-46657)

- 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)

- MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows an application crash in find_field_in_tables and find_order_in_list via an unused common table expression (CTE). (CVE-2021-46661)

- MariaDB through 10.5.13 allows a ha_maria::extra application crash via certain SELECT statements.
(CVE-2021-46663)

- MariaDB before 10.6.2 allows an application crash because of mishandling of a pushdown from a HAVING clause to a WHERE clause. (CVE-2021-46666)

- MariaDB before 10.6.5 has a sql_lex.cc integer overflow, leading to an application crash. (CVE-2021-46667)

- MariaDB through 10.5.9 allows an application crash via certain long SELECT DISTINCT statements that improperly interact with storage-engine resource limitations for temporary data structures.
(CVE-2021-46668)

- An issue in the component my_decimal::operator= of MariaDB Server v10.6.3 and below was discovered to allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via specially crafted SQL statements. (CVE-2022-27380)

- An issue in the component Item_subselect::init_expr_cache_tracker of MariaDB Server v10.6 and below was discovered to allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via specially crafted SQL statements.
(CVE-2022-27384)

- MariaDB Server before 10.7 is vulnerable to Denial of Service. While executing the plugin/server_audit/server_audit.c method log_statement_ex, the held lock lock_bigbuffer is not released correctly, which allows local users to trigger a denial of service due to the deadlock. (CVE-2022-31624)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update mariadb' to update your system.
