high Nessus Plugin ID 63147

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.1.66. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5166-release-notes advisory.

 - Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code in Oracle MySQL possibly before 5.5.29, and MariaDB 5.1.x through 5.1.62, 5.2.x through 5.2.12, 5.3.x through 5.3.7, and 5.5.x through 5.5.25, allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to the binary log. NOTE:
 as of 20130116, Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor that the fix in MySQL 5.5.29 is incomplete. (CVE-2012-4414)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Information Schema. (CVE-2012-3163)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier and 5.5.23 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability, related to GIS Extension. (CVE-2012-0540)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier, and 5.5.22 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.
 (CVE-2012-1689)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier, and 5.5.23 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.
 (CVE-2012-1734)

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

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 5.1.66 or later.
