New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is version 5.5.x prior to 5.5.43 or version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.24. It is, therefore, potentially affected by unspecified flaws in the following MySQL subcomponents that allow a denial of service by an authenticated, remote attacker :

 - Replication (CVE-2015-0498)
 - Federated (CVE-2015-0499)
 - Information Schema (CVE-2015-0500)
 - Compiling (CVE-2015-0501)
 - Partition (CVE-2015-0503)
 - DDL (CVE-2015-0505)
 - InnoDB (CVE-2015-0506, CVE-2015-0508)
 - Memcached (CVE-2015-0507)
 - SP (CVE-2015-0511)
 - Security : Privileges (CVE-2015-2567)
 - Optimizer (CVE-2015-2571)

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL version 5.5.43 / 5.6.24 or later as referenced in the Oracle April 2015 Critical Patch Update advisory.
