The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
mariadb (5.5.56).

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)

(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)

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