New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 4.9
Synopsis
The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of MySQL Community Server 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.46 and thus potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- A local user may be able to issue a 'DROP TABLE' command for one MyISAM table and remove the data and index files of a different MyISAM table. (Bug #40980)
- The application does not correct check privileges in calls to 'UNINSTALL PLUGIN', which could be abused by an unprivileged user to uninstall plugins loaded dynamically. (Bug #51770)
Solution
Upgrade to MySQL Community Server 5.1.46 or later.
