  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users with Server Privileges to affect availability via unknown vectors. (CVE-2012-5096)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the acl_get function in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through     5.5.28, and 5.1.53 and other versions through 5.1.66, and MariaDB 5.5.2.x before 5.5.28a, 5.3.x before     5.3.11, 5.2.x before 5.2.13 and 5.1.x before 5.1.66, allows remote authenticated users to execute     arbitrary code via a long argument to the GRANT FILE command. (CVE-2012-5611)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a     and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the     (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM,     (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD     commands. (CVE-2012-5612)

  - Oracle MySQL 5.5.38 and earlier, 5.6.19 and earlier, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and     possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on     whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames. (CVE-2012-5615)

  - Oracle MySQL and MariaDB 5.5.x before 5.5.29, 5.3.x before 5.3.12, and 5.2.x before 5.2.14 does not modify     the salt during multiple executions of the change_user command within the same connection which makes it     easier for remote authenticated users to conduct brute force password guessing attacks. (CVE-2012-5627)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Partition.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.66 and earlier and 5.5.28 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to     Server Privileges. (CVE-2013-1531)

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

The version of MariaDB 5.3 running on the remote host is prior to 5.3.12. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication

The version of MariaDB 5.5 running on the remote host is prior to 5.5.29. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - MyISAM
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Parser
  - Server Partition
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication
  - Stored Procedure

The installed version of MySQL may be affected by a security bypass vulnerability because the salt used during password validation does not change when switching users with the 'COM_CHANGE_USER' command.
Additionally, the connection is not reset when invalid credentials are submitted.  Normally, when a connection is initiated and invalid credentials are submitted, the connection is terminated, which slows brute-force attempts substantially.

ORACLE reports :

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code

Stack-based buffer overflow

Heap-based buffer overflow

The version of MariaDB 5.2 running on the remote host is prior to 5.2.14. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication

Updated mariadb packages includes fixes for the following security vulnerabilities :

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.26 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect integrity and availability, related to MySQL Client (CVE-2012-3147).

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and earlier, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Protocol (CVE-2012-3158).

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code in Oracle MySQL possibly before 5.5.29, and MariaDB 5.1.x through 5.1.62, 5.2.x through 5.2.12, 5.3.x through 5.3.7, and 5.5.x through 5.5.25, allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to the binary log. NOTE: as of 20130116, Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor that the fix in MySQL 5.5.29 is incomplete (CVE-2012-4414).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the acl_get function in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and 5.1.53 and other versions through 5.1.66, and MariaDB 5.5.2.x before 5.5.28a, 5.3.x before 5.3.11, 5.2.x before 5.2.13 and 5.1.x before 5.1.66, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the GRANT FILE command (CVE-2012-5611).

A buffer overflow that can cause a server crash or arbitrary code execution (a variant of CVE-2012-5611)

Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD commands (CVE-2012-5612).

MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames (CVE-2012-5615). Be advised that for CVE-2012-5615 to be completely closed, it's recommended to remove any anonymous logins. Previously, such a user without access rights was added by default.

A vulnerability was found in the handling of password salt values in MySQL. When a user logs into MySQL a salt value is generated that is then used to prevent password guessing attacks (since the salt value must be known in order to send a password). This salt value is created at the start of a session and used for the entire session, once authenticated an attacker can use the MySQL change_user command to attempt to login as a different, as the salt value is known a password guessing attack will be much more efficient (CVE-2012-5627).

in addition it fixes MDEV-4029 and rpl.rpl_mdev382 test from mariadb-bench, and a problem preventing the feedback plugin from working has been corrected.
