Amazon Linux 2023 : mariadb114, mariadb114-backup, mariadb114-client-utils (ALAS2023-2026-1845)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 322061

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1845 advisory.

During the SST the donor node is interpolating parameters that the joiner sent into the command line. Not all parameters were properly validated which could allow a malicious joiner to execute arbitrary shell commands on the donor side via the mariabackup SST method. (CVE-2026-44168)

SHOW CREATE ROUTINE does not apply to roles (CVE-2026-44169)

mbstream did not check for /../ in the path when unpacking the archive. A proper backup can never contain such paths, but a specially crafted archive could have caused mbstream to create files outside of the target-dir path. (CVE-2026-44171)

An application that was taking non-validated user input, escaping it with mysql_real_escape_string() and sending it to the database using text protocol and big5 character set was vulnerable to SQL injections, even though mysql_real_escape_string() was supposed to prevent them. (CVE-2026-44172)

MariaDB allowed SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE and SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE without verifying the FILE privilege if the FROM clause contained only subqueries. (CVE-2026-44173)

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

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update mariadb114 --releasever 2023.12.20260622' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1845 --releasever 2023.12.20260622' to update your system.
