The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-1284:01 advisory.

    MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. MySQL is a     client/server implementation consisting of a server daemon (mysqld)     and many different client programs and libraries. The base package     contains the standard MySQL client programs and generic MySQL files.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2016-5616
    ** REJECT **     DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2016-6663. Reason:
    This candidate is a reservation duplicate of CVE-2016-6663.  Notes:
    All CVE users should reference CVE-2016-6663 instead of this     candidate.  All references and descriptions in this candidate have     been removed to prevent accidental usage.
    CVE-2016-6662     Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through     5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x     before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before     5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create     arbitrary configurations and bypass certain protection mechanisms by     setting general_log_file to a my.cnf configuration.  NOTE: this can be     leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting     malloc_lib.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.33. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent     that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5507)

  - A flaw exists in the check_log_path() function within     file sql/sys_vars.cc due to inadequate restrictions on     the ability to write to the my.cnf configuration file     and allowing the loading of configuration files from     path locations not used by current versions. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue     by using specially crafted queries that utilize logging     functionality to create new files or append custom     content to existing files. This allows the attacker to     gain root privileges by inserting a custom .cnf file     with a 'malloc_lib=' directive pointing to specially     crafted mysql_hookandroot_lib.so file and thereby cause     MySQL to load a malicious library the next time it is     started. (CVE-2016-6662)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an authenticated,     remote attacker to bypass restrictions and create the     /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf file with custom contents without     the FILE privilege requirement. (CVE-2016-6663)

  - A flaw exists that is related to the use of temporary     files by REPAIR TABLE. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.

  - A flaw exists in InnoDB when handling an operation that     dropped and created a full-text search table. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     trigger an assertion, resulting in a denial of service     condition.

  - A flaw exists in InnoDB when accessing full-text     auxiliary tables while dropping the indexed table. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     trigger an assertion, resulting in a denial of service     condition.

  - A buffer overflow condition exists when handling long     integer values in MEDIUMINT columns due to the improper     validation of certain input. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service     condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

  - An unspecified flaw exists due to how a prepared     statement uses a parameter in the select list of a     derived table that was part of a join. An authenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a server exit,     resulting in a denial of service condition.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2595 advisory.

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

    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: mariadb (5.5.52). (BZ#1304516,     BZ#1377974)

    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.
