The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.55. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in the     mysql_prune_stmt_list() function in client.c that allows     an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-3302)

  - An authentication information disclosure vulnerability,     known as Riddle, exists due to authentication being     performed prior to security parameter verification. A     man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacker can exploit this     vulnerability to disclose sensitive authentication     information, which the attacker can later use for     authenticating to the server. (CVE-2017-3305)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the DML subcomponent     that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3308,     CVE-2017-3456)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer     subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3309, CVE-2017-3453)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Thread Pooling     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to update, insert, or delete data contained in     the database. (CVE-2017-3329)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the     'Security: Privileges' subcomponent that allow an     authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-3461, CVE-2017-3462,     CVE-2017-3463)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the DDL subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to update,     insert, or delete data contained in the database.
    (CVE-2017-3464)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Client mysqldump'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3600)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
