The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Replication). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.5.59 and prior, 5.6.39 and prior and 5.7.21 and prior. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where MySQL Server     executes to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than     the attacker and while the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may significantly impact additional     products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Server. (CVE-2018-2755)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:1258 advisory.

    MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. For all practical purposes, MariaDB is     binary-compatible with MySQL.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-mariadb102-mariadb (10.2.22),     rh-mariadb102-galera (25.3.25).

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 MySQL running on the remote host is 5.7.x prior to 5.7.22. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the April 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory. Please consult the CVRF details for the applicable CVEs for additional information.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.40. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the April 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory. Please consult the CVRF details for the applicable CVEs for additional information.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.60. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the April 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory. Please consult the CVRF details for the applicable CVEs for additional information.
