medium Nessus Plugin ID 65732

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.30. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5530-release-notes advisory.

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier, 5.5.29 and earlier, and 5.6.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Information Schema. (CVE-2013-2378)

 - Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier and 5.5.29 and earlier, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (mysqld crash) via a SELECT command with an UpdateXML command containing XML with a large number of unique, nested elements. (CVE-2012-5614)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier, 5.5.29 and earlier, and 5.6.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Locking.
 (CVE-2013-1506)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.29 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Data Manipulation Language. (CVE-2013-1512)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier and 5.5.29 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Server Locking. (CVE-2013-1521)

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 5.5.30 or later.
