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 is different from CVSS.

VPR Score: 4.7

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- Update to MySQL 5.5.20, for various fixes described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-20.html as well as security fixes described at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan 2012-366304.html

- Re-include the mysqld logrotate script, now that it's not so bogus

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mysql package.
