The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.35 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists in 'mysqld_safe' that is due to the unsafe use of 'rm' and 'chown'. This may allow an authenticated local attacker to gain elevated privileges.
 - An unspecified flaw exists in 'mysqld_safe' that is due to the program ignoring the current working directory. This may allow an authenticated attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided.
 - An overflow condition exists in the Optimizer. The issue is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when handling nested expressions. This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of a 'CREATE TABLE' query with a 'DATA DIRECTORY' clause. This may allow an authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Security:Encryption subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the DDL subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the MyISAM subcomponent. This may allow a local attacker to gain access to sensitive information. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.35. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

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

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

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Security: Encryption).
    Supported versions that are affected are 5.6.34 and earlier and 5.7.16 and earlier. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while     the vulnerability is in MySQL Server, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable     crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. CVSS v3.0 Base Score 6.8 (Availability impacts). (CVE-2016-8318)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
