The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.28. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5528-release-notes advisory.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.65 and earlier and 5.5.27 and     earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability, related to GIS Extension.
    (CVE-2012-5060)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.65 and earlier, and 5.5.27 and     earlier, allows local users to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to Server Installation.
    (CVE-2012-3160)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.65 and earlier, and 5.5.27 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server.
    (CVE-2012-3177)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.65 and earlier, and 5.5.27 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server     Optimizer. (CVE-2012-3180)

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

Please consult the Oracle security matrix for further information regarding these security issues and the MySQL release notes.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201308-06 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request, possibly       resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       application or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.28 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - GIS Extension
  - Server
  - Server Installation
  - Server Optimizer
  - yaSSL

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.67 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.29.

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

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.66 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Server Installation
  - Server
  - Server Optimizer
  - GIS Extension

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.1.66. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5166-release-notes advisory.

  - Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code in Oracle MySQL possibly before 5.5.29, and     MariaDB 5.1.x through 5.1.62, 5.2.x through 5.2.12, 5.3.x through 5.3.7, and 5.5.x through 5.5.25, allow     remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to the binary log. NOTE:
    as of 20130116, Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor that the fix in MySQL 5.5.29     is incomplete. (CVE-2012-4414)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via     unknown vectors related to Information Schema. (CVE-2012-3163)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier and 5.5.23 and earlier allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability, related to GIS Extension. (CVE-2012-0540)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier, and 5.5.22 and earlier, allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.
    (CVE-2012-1689)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.1.62 and earlier, and 5.5.23 and earlier, allows remote     authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.
    (CVE-2012-1734)

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