Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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 or MariaDB running on the remote host has a user enumeration vulnerability.  A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to learn the names of valid database users.  This information could be used to mount further attacks.

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream version 5.5.40. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for further details :
