Language:
New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3
The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.
Synopsis
The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of MariaDB running on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.9. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- A flaw exists in the encryption subcomponent due to a failure to properly handle faults associated with the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) process when allowing ephemeral key exchange without low memory optimizations on a server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose private RSA keys by capturing TLS handshakes. (CVE-2015-7744)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0610)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Option subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-3471)
- A flaw exists in the check_fk_parent_table_access() function in sql_parse.cc that is triggered when performing database name conversions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service.
- A flaw exists in the gis_field_options_read() function in field.cc that is triggered during the handling of the GIS feature. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service.
- An unspecified flaw exists in the init_read_record_idx() function that is triggered when handling errors. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.
- An overflow condition exists in the XMLColumns() function in tabxml.cpp due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when handling UPDATE queries with JOIN. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of 'View' or 'Derived' fields. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service.
- A flaw exists in the row_merge_sort() function that is triggered when handling FT-index creation. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
