This DSA updates the MySQL 5.1 database to 5.1.73. This fixes multiple unspecified security problems in MySQL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2014-1972949.h tml

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.5.x prior to 5.5.35.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Error Handling
  - InnoDB
  - Privileges
  - Optimizer
  - Replication

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0189 advisory.

    MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary     compatible with MySQL.

    This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server.
    Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch     Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2013-5807,     CVE-2013-5891, CVE-2014-0386, CVE-2014-0393, CVE-2014-0401, CVE-2014-0402,     CVE-2014-0412, CVE-2014-0420, CVE-2014-0437, CVE-2013-3839, CVE-2013-5908)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the MariaDB command line client     tool (mysql) processed excessively long version strings. If a user     connected to a malicious MariaDB server via the mysql client, the server     could use this flaw to crash the mysql client or, potentially, execute     arbitrary code as the user running the mysql client. (CVE-2014-0001)

    The CVE-2014-0001 issue was discovered by Garth Mollett of the Red Hat     Security Response Team.

    These updated packages upgrade MariaDB to version 5.5.35. Refer to the     MariaDB Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list     of changes.

    All MariaDB users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct     these issues. After installing this update, the MariaDB server daemon     (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

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 MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 10.0.8 advisory.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.72 and earlier, 5.5.34 and     earlier, and 5.6.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown     vectors related to Optimizer. (CVE-2014-0437)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.72 and earlier, 5.5.34 and     earlier, and 5.6.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown     vectors related to InnoDB. (CVE-2014-0412)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.72 and earlier, 5.5.34 and     earlier, and 5.6.14 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related     to Error Handling. (CVE-2013-5908)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.72 and earlier, 5.5.34 and     earlier, and 5.6.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown     vectors. (CVE-2014-0401)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.34 and earlier, and 5.6.14 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to     Replication. (CVE-2014-0420)

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

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream version 5.5.35. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for further details :

(CVE-2014-0001)

This update also fixes the following bug :

  - Prior to this update, MySQL did not check whether a     MySQL socket was actually being used by any process     before starting the mysqld service. If a particular     mysqld service did not exit cleanly while a socket was     being used by a process, this socket was considered to     be still in use during the next start-up of this     service, which resulted in a failure to start the     service up. With this update, if a socket exists but is     not used by any process, it is ignored during the mysqld     service start-up.

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.
