According to the versions of the mariadb packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was discovered that the mysql and mysqldump tools     did not correctly handle database and table names     containing newline characters. A database user with     privileges to create databases or tables could cause     the mysql command to execute arbitrary shell or SQL     commands while restoring database backup created using     the mysqldump tool. (CVE-2016-5483, CVE-2017-3600)

  - A flaw was found in the way the mysqld_safe script     handled creation of error log file. The mysql operating     system user could use this flaw to escalate their     privileges to root. (CVE-2016-5617, CVE-2016-6664)

  - Multiple flaws were found in the way the MySQL init     script handled initialization of the database data     directory and permission setting on the error log file.
    The mysql operating system user could use these flaws     to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2017-3265)

  - It was discovered that the mysqld_safe script honored     the ledir option value set in a MySQL configuration     file. A user able to modify one of the MySQL     configuration files could use this flaw to escalate     their privileges to root. (CVE-2017-3291)

  - Multiple flaws were found in the way the mysqld_safe     script handled creation of error log file. The mysql     operating system user could use these flaws to escalate     their privileges to root. (CVE-2017-3312)

  - A flaw was found in the way MySQL client library     (libmysqlclient) handled prepared statements when     server connection was lost. A malicious server or a     man-in-the-middle attacker could possibly use this flaw     to crash an application using libmysqlclient.
    (CVE-2017-3302)

  - 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-2017-3238, CVE-2017-3243, CVE-2017-3244,     CVE-2017-3258, CVE-2017-3308, CVE-2017-3309,     CVE-2017-3313, CVE-2017-3317, CVE-2017-3318,     CVE-2017-3453, CVE-2017-3456, CVE-2017-3464)

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

  - mysqld_safe in Oracle MySQL through 5.5.51, 5.6.x through 5.6.32, and 5.7.x through 5.7.14; MariaDB;
    Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.2, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-78-1, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-8; and Percona XtraDB     Cluster before 5.5.41-37.0, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-25.17, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-26.17, when using file-     based logging, allows local users with access to the mysql account to gain root privileges via a symlink     attack on error logs and possibly other files. (CVE-2016-6664)

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-2016:2749 advisory.

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

    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: rh-mysql56-mysql (5.6.34).

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was discovered that the MySQL logging functionality allowed writing to MySQL 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 MySQL 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, CVE-2016-5616)

    * A flaw was found in the way the mysqld_safe script handled creation of error log file. The mysql     operating system user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2016-6664,     CVE-2016-5617)

    * This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws     can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory pages, listed in the References section.
    (CVE-2016-3492, CVE-2016-5507, CVE-2016-5626, CVE-2016-5629, CVE-2016-8283)

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

    Bug Fix(es):

    * Previously, a syntax error in the Galera Arbitrator SysV init script prevented the garbd daemon from     being started when the SysV init script was used. With this update, the definition of the main daemon     binary in the SysV init script has been fixed, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1466473)

    * Prior to this update, the scl macros were not set for the rh-mariadb101-mariadb@.service file, which     consequently made the service file unusable. This bug has been fixed, and rh-mariadb101-mariadb@.service     now works as expected. (BZ#1485995)
