The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.7.x prior to 5.7.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A carry propagation error exists in the OpenSSL     component in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery     multiplication procedure when handling input lengths     divisible by but longer than 256 bits. This can result     in transient authentication and key negotiation failures     or reproducible erroneous outcomes of public-key     operations with specially crafted input. A     man-in-the-middle attacker can possibly exploit this     issue to compromise ECDH key negotiations that utilize     Brainpool P-512 curves. (CVE-2016-7055)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the DML subcomponent     that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. Note that CVE-2017-3331     only affects versions 5.7.11 to 5.7.17. (CVE-2017-3308,     CVE-2017-3331, CVE-2017-3456, CVE-2017-3457,     CVE-2017-3458)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Optimizer     subcomponent that allow an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3309, CVE-2017-3453, CVE-2017-3459)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Thread Pooling     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3329)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Memcached subcomponent     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause     a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3450)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the InnoDB subcomponent     that allows an authenticated, remote attacker to insert     and delete data contained in the database or cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3454)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Security: Privileges'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to insert or delete data contained in the     database or disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-3455)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Audit Plug-in     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3460)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the     'Security: Privileges' subcomponent that allow an     authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-3461, CVE-2017-3462,     CVE-2017-3463)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the DDL subcomponent that     allows an authenticated, remote attacker to update,     insert, or delete data contained in the database.
    (CVE-2017-3464)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Security: Privileges'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to update, insert, or delete data contained in     the database. (CVE-2017-3465)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the C API subcomponent     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3467)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Security: Encryption'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to update, insert, or delete data contained in     the database. (CVE-2017-3468)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Pluggable Auth     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-3599)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'Client mysqldump'     subcomponent that allows an authenticated, remote     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3600)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the OpenSSL     component when handling packets using the     CHACHA20/POLY1305 or RC4-MD5 ciphers. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted truncated packets, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-3731)

  - A carry propagating error exists in the OpenSSL     component in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring     implementation that may cause the BN_mod_exp() function     to produce incorrect results. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker with sufficient resources can exploit this to     obtain sensitive information regarding private keys.
    (CVE-2017-3732)

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

New mariadb packages are available for Slackware 14.1, 14.2, and
-current to fix security issues.

This update for mysql-community-server to version 5.6.36 fixes the following issues :

These security issues were fixed :

Integer underflow in get_56_lenc_string() leading to DoS (CPU Apr 2017) :

An integer overflow flaw leading to a buffer overflow was found in the way MySQL parsed connection handshake packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker with access to the MySQL port could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon. (CVE-2017-3599)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2192 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 later upstream version: mariadb (5.5.56). (BZ#1458933)

    Security Fix(es):

    * 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.
