New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of MariaDB 5.5 running on the remote host is prior to 5.5.28a. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 5.5.28a or later.
