The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4250-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to     fix these issues.

    MySQL has been updated to 8.0.19 in Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS have been updated     to MySQL 5.7.29.

    In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly     incompatible changes.

    Please see the following for more information:

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202105-27 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of       the process, escalate privileges, gain access to critical data or       complete access to all MySQL server accessible data, or cause a Denial of       Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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)

  - 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-2020-2574)

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

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 product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.46 and prior, 5.7.28 and prior and 8.0.18 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2020-2579)

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

An update of the mysql package has been released.

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).
