Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

MySQL has been updated to 8.0.18 in Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 19.04 have been updated to MySQL 5.7.28.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Please see the following for more information:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-28.html https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-18.html https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2019.html

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of MySQL running on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.0.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including three of the top vulnerabilities below, as noted in the July 2019 and October 2022 Critical Patch Update advisories:

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the     'Shell: Admin / InnoDB Cluster' subcomponent could allow     an unauthenticated attacker to takeover an affected MySQL     Server. A successful attack requires user interaction.
    (CVE-2019-2822)

  - As unspecified vulnerability in the 'Server: Replication'     subcomponent could allow an unauthenticated attacker to     cause the server to hang or to, via a frequently     repeatable crash, cause a complete denial of service.
    Additionally, a successful attacker could perform     unauthorized modifications to some MySQL Server     accessible data. (CVE-2019-2800)

  - As unspecified vulnerability in the 'Server: Charsets'     subcomponent could allow an unauthenticated attacker to     cause the server to hang or to, via a frequently     repeatable crash, cause a complete denial of service.
    (CVE-2019-2795)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2019:2511 advisory.
