Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.0.x, 5.1.x, and 5.5.x allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mysql: over-sized packet denial of service vulnerability (CVE-2010-1849)

  - mysql: Unspecified vulnerability allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality     (CVE-2012-0484)

  - MySQL before 5.1.46 allows local users to delete the data and index files of another user's MyISAM table     via a symlink attack in conjunction with the DROP TABLE command, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2008-4098 and CVE-2008-7247. (CVE-2010-1626)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
