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-mhvc-vqcq-7vq5 advisory.

- MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From 10.6.1 until 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2, the mariadb.service unit used /run/mysqld/wsrep-new-cluster during the next service restart. A database user with FILE privilege and a secure-file-priv configuration permitting writes to /run/mysqld could create that file and inject attacker-controlled environment values into the restarted service. This issue is fixed in versions 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2. (CVE-2026-107818)

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.
