Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2016-716:03 advisory.

 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2016-3492 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier, 5.6.32 and earlier, and 5.7.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to Server: Optimizer.
 CVE-2016-5612 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.50 and earlier, 5.6.31 and earlier, and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML.
 CVE-2016-5616 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier, 5.6.32 and earlier, and 5.7.14 and earlier allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to Server: MyISAM.
 CVE-2016-5617 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier, 5.6.32 and earlier, and 5.7.14 and earlier allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to Server: Error Handling.
 CVE-2016-5624 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML.

NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloc_lib.
 CVE-2016-8283 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier, 5.6.32 and earlier, and 5.7.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to Server: Types.
