Synopsis
The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of MariaDB running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.49. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- An unspecified flaw exists in the DML component that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0643)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the FTS component that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0647)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the PS component that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0648)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Privileges component that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-0666)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Encryption component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-3452)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Connection component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-5444)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the my_decimal_precision_to_length_no_truncation() function within file item_cmpfunc.cc when handling SELECT CASE statements. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database.
- A buffer overflow condition exists in the audit_plugin_so_init() function within file plugin/server_audit/server_audit.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
