MariaDB 5.5.0 < 5.5.44 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84798

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.44. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5544-release-notes advisory.

 - Oracle MySQL before 5.7.3, Oracle MySQL Connector/C (aka libmysqlclient) before 6.1.3, and MariaDB before 5.5.44 use the --ssl option to mean that SSL is optional, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, aka a BACKRONYM attack. (CVE-2015-3152)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.43 and earlier and 5.6.24 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to GIS. (CVE-2015-2582)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.43 and earlier and 5.6.23 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Server : Security :
 Privileges. (CVE-2015-2620)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.43 and earlier and 5.6.24 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server : Optimizer.
 (CVE-2015-2643)

 - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.43 and earlier and 5.6.24 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML. (CVE-2015-2648)

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 5.5.44 or later.
