MariaDB 10.0.0 < 10.0.27 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 93609

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.27. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10027-release-notes advisory.

- Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through 5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create arbitrary configurations and bypass certain protection mechanisms by setting general_log_file to a my.cnf configuration. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloc_lib. NOTE: the affected MySQL version information is from Oracle's October 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the issue was silently patched in MySQL 5.5.52, 5.6.33, and 5.7.15. (CVE-2016-6662)

- Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.50 and earlier, 5.6.31 and earlier, and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML. (CVE-2016-5612)

- Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.31 and earlier and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote administrators to affect availability via vectors related to Server: InnoDB. (CVE-2016-5630)

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 10.0.27 or later.
