Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, 13.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the GHSA-4wgx-ffg9-jrwq advisory.

- ### Impact Incorrect boundary checked made it possible to write one `'\0'` byte beyond the end of the stack based buffer at the attacker controlled offset. This was demonstrated to cause a remote code execution in the lab conditions. ### Patches Fixed in 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, 13.0.2. ### Workarounds Make sure you do not have CONNECT engine plugin installed if you don't need it. ### References https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-40637 ### Credits [dstesk](https://hackerone.com/dstesk) (GHSA-4wgx-ffg9-jrwq)

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

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, 13.0.2 or later.
