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 availability via unknown vectors related to Server Optimizer.

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 5.5.27. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5-5-27-release-notes advisory.

  - 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 availability via unknown vectors related to Server     Optimizer. (CVE-2012-3150)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and     earlier, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown     vectors related to Protocol. (CVE-2012-3158)

  - 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 the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.63 and earlier, and 5.5.25 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to InnoDB.
    (CVE-2012-3166)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.63 and earlier, and 5.5.25 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server     Full Text Search. (CVE-2012-3167)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.63 and earlier, and 5.5.25 and     earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to InnoDB     Plugin. (CVE-2012-3173)

  - 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.

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

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 remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2012-1462 advisory.

    [5.1.66-1]
    - Update to 5.1.66, for assorted upstream bugfixes including       CVEs announced in July and October 2012     Resolves: #871813

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to a new upstream version, 5.1.66, which includes additional changes, such as performance improvements and corrections for data loss defects. These changes are described in the MySQL release notes.

Additionally, CVE-2012-5611 has been fixed in this upload. The vulnerability (discovered independently by Tomas Hoger from the Red Hat Security Response Team and 'king cope') is a stack-based buffer overflow in acl_get() when checking user access to a database. Using a carefully crafted database name, an already authenticated MySQL user could make the server crash or even execute arbitrary code as the mysql system user.

The version of MariaDB 5.1 running on the remote host is prior to 5.1.66. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.
A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory pages. (CVE-2012-1688, CVE-2012-1690, CVE-2012-1703, CVE-2012-2749, CVE-2012-0540, CVE-2012-1689, CVE-2012-1734, CVE-2012-3163, CVE-2012-3158, CVE-2012-3177, CVE-2012-3166, CVE-2012-3173, CVE-2012-3150, CVE-2012-3180, CVE-2012-3167, CVE-2012-3197, CVE-2012-3160)

These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.1.66. Refer to the MySQL release notes for a full list of changes.

After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1462 advisory.

Updated mysql packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) and many client programs and libraries.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory pages, listed in the References section. (CVE-2012-1688, CVE-2012-1690, CVE-2012-1703, CVE-2012-2749, CVE-2012-0540, CVE-2012-1689, CVE-2012-1734, CVE-2012-3163, CVE-2012-3158, CVE-2012-3177, CVE-2012-3166, CVE-2012-3173, CVE-2012-3150, CVE-2012-3180, CVE-2012-3167, CVE-2012-3197, CVE-2012-3160)

These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.1.66. Refer to the MySQL release notes listed in the References section for a full list of changes.

All MySQL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MySQL server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.66 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.28.

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

The version of MySQL 5.5 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.27 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - MySQL Client
  - Protocol
  - Server
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Replication

The version of MySQL 5.1 installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.1.65 and is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :
