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 10.0.x prior to 10.0.28. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Optimizer subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-3492)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Security: Encryption subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
 (CVE-2016-5584)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the MyISAM subcomponent that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5616)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5624)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the GIS subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5626)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Federated subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5629)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to bypass restrictions and create the /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf file with custom contents without the FILE privilege requirement. (CVE-2016-6663)

 - A flaw exists in wolfSSL, specifically within the C software version of AES Encryption and Decryption, due to table lookups not properly considering cache-bank access times. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to disclose AES keys.
 Note that this vulnerability does not affect MariaDB packages included in Red Hat products since they're built against system OpenSSL packages. (CVE-2016-7440)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Types subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-8283)

 - A flaw exists in the fix_after_pullout() function in item.cc that is triggered when handling a prepared statement with a conversion to semi-join. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

 - A flaw exists in the mysql_admin_table() function in sql_admin.cc that is triggered when handling re-execution of certain ANALYZE TABLE prepared statements. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

 - A flaw exists in the fill_alter_inplace_info() function in sql_table.cc that is triggered when altering persistent virtual columns. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

 - A flaw exists in the mysql_rm_table_no_locks() function in sql_table.cc that is triggered during the handling of CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE queries. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to MariaDB version 10.0.28 or later.
