The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.0.19. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as noted in the January 2020 Critical Patch Update advisory:

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Compiling (cURL)). Supported   versions that are affected are 5.7.28 and prior and 8.0.18 and prior. This easily exploitable vulnerability allows   unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful   attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Server (CVE-2019-5482).

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Client product of Oracle MySQL (component: C API). Supported versions that are   affected are 5.6.46 and prior, 5.7.28 and prior and 8.0.18 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows   unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Client. Successful   attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash   (complete DOS) of MySQL Client. (CVE-2020-2573)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:3755 advisory.

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld)     and many client programs and libraries.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: mysql (8.0.21).
