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

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.50 and earlier, 5.6.31 and earlier, and 5.7.13 and earlier     allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML. (CVE-2016-5612)

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-2016:1601 advisory.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.32. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the DML subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5612)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the InnoDB     subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-5627, CVE-2016-5630)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Replication     subcomponent that allows a local attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-8284)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     NAME_CONST() function when handling certain unspecified     arguments. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to cause the server to exit.

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in InnoDB when     selecting full-text index information schema tables for     a deleted table. An authenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a segmentation fault.

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 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2131 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 newer upstream version: mariadb55-mariadb (5.5.53).

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was discovered that the MariaDB logging functionality allowed writing to MariaDB configuration files.
    An administrative database user, or a database user with FILE privileges, could possibly use this flaw to     run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the system running the database server. (CVE-2016-6662)

    * A race condition was found in the way MariaDB performed MyISAM engine table repair. A database user with     shell access to the server running mysqld could use this flaw to change permissions of arbitrary files     writable by the mysql system user. (CVE-2016-6663)

    * 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.

NOTE: this can be     leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting     malloc_lib.
    CVE-2016-8283     Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.5.51 and earlier, 5.6.32     and earlier, and 5.7.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users     to affect availability via vectors related to Server: Types.
