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

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found in the References section.

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-2013-0772 advisory.
