Oracle MySQL 5.5.38 and earlier, 5.6.19 and earlier, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1937 advisory.

    MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary     compatible with MySQL. Galera is a synchronous multi-master cluster for     MariaDB.

    This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MariaDB database server.
    Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch     Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. (CVE-2014-4274,     CVE-2014-4287, CVE-2014-6463, CVE-2014-6464, CVE-2014-6469, CVE-2014-6484,     CVE-2014-6505, CVE-2014-6507, CVE-2014-6520, CVE-2014-6530, CVE-2014-6551,     CVE-2014-6555, CVE-2014-6559, CVE-2012-5615, CVE-2014-4258, CVE-2014-4260,     CVE-2014-2494, CVE-2014-4207)

    These updated packages upgrade MariaDB to version 5.5.40. Refer to the     MariaDB Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list     of changes.

    All mariadb-galera users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,     which correct these issues. After installing this update, the MariaDB     server daemon (mysqld) will be restarted automatically.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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.

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10-0-1-release-notes advisory.

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

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-10013-release-notes advisory, including the following:

  - A flaw in OpenSSL which fails to properly restrict     processing of ChangeCipherSpec messages. A     man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, via a     crafted TLS handshake, to force the use of a     zero-length master key in certain OpenSSL-to-OpenSSL     communications, resulting in the session being hijacked     and sensitive information being disclosed.
    (CVE-2014-0224)

 -  A buffer overflow error in OpenSSL related to invalid     DTLS fragment handling that can lead to execution of     arbitrary code or denial of service. This is caused by     improper validation on the fragment lengths in DTLS     ClientHello messages. (CVE-2014-0195)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in MariaDB Server related     to CLIENT:MYSQLDUMP that allows remote, authenticated     users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and     availability. (CVE-2014-6530)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2384-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes a new upstream MySQL version to     fix these issues. MySQL has been updated to 5.5.40.

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

    Please see the following for more information:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-39.html     http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-40.html     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuoct2014-1972960.html

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

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

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is older than 5.5.39 or 5.6.20, and is thus unpatched for vulnerabilities within the following components:

  - MyISAM temporary files, which may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges

   - yaSSL, which contains an off-by-one overflow condition that can be leveraged for remote code execution

  - MySQL admin password exposure after a password change

  - mysqldump, which contains an overflow condition that can result in denial of service

  - Replication, which may crash the database when handling overly large statements (versions 5.6.x only)

  - InnoDB, which may crash when performing a DELETE operation (versions 5.6.x only)

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.20. It is, therefore, affected by errors in the following components :

  - CLIENT:MYSQLADMIN
  - CLIENT:MYSQLDUMP
  - SERVER:CHARACTER SETS
  - SERVER:DML
  - SERVER:MEMORY STORAGE ENGINE
  - SERVER:MyISAM
  - SERVER:PRIVILEGES AUTHENTICATION PLUGIN API
  - SERVER:REPLICATION ROW FORMAT BINARY LOG DML
  - SERVER:SSL:OpenSSL
  - SERVER:SSL:yaSSL

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.5.x prior to 5.5.39. It is, therefore, affected by errors in the following components :

  - CLIENT:MYSQLADMIN
  - CLIENT:MYSQLDUMP
  - SERVER:CHARACTER SETS
  - SERVER:DDL
  - SERVER:DML
  - SERVER:MEMORY STORAGE ENGINE
  - SERVER:MyISAM
  - SERVER:PRIVILEGES AUTHENTICATION PLUGIN API
  - SERVER:REPLICATION ROW FORMAT BINARY LOG DML
  - SERVER:SSL:yaSSL

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.

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.69 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.31.

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

Please see the following for more information:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.1/en/news-5-1-69.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-31.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuapr2013-1899555.h tml.

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.

Updated mariadb packages includes fixes for the following security vulnerabilities :

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.26 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect integrity and availability, related to MySQL Client (CVE-2012-3147).

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).

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).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the acl_get function in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and 5.1.53 and other versions through 5.1.66, and MariaDB 5.5.2.x before 5.5.28a, 5.3.x before 5.3.11, 5.2.x before 5.2.13 and 5.1.x before 5.1.66, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the GRANT FILE command (CVE-2012-5611).

A buffer overflow that can cause a server crash or arbitrary code execution (a variant of CVE-2012-5611)

Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle MySQL 5.5.19 and other versions through 5.5.28, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using certain variations of the (1) USE, (2) SHOW TABLES, (3) DESCRIBE, (4) SHOW FIELDS FROM, (5) SHOW COLUMNS FROM, (6) SHOW INDEX FROM, (7) CREATE TABLE, (8) DROP TABLE, (9) ALTER TABLE, (10) DELETE FROM, (11) UPDATE, and (12) SET PASSWORD commands (CVE-2012-5612).

MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a, 5.3.11, 5.2.13, 5.1.66, and possibly other versions, generates different error messages with different time delays depending on whether a user name exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames (CVE-2012-5615). Be advised that for CVE-2012-5615 to be completely closed, it's recommended to remove any anonymous logins. Previously, such a user without access rights was added by default.

A vulnerability was found in the handling of password salt values in MySQL. When a user logs into MySQL a salt value is generated that is then used to prevent password guessing attacks (since the salt value must be known in order to send a password). This salt value is created at the start of a session and used for the entire session, once authenticated an attacker can use the MySQL change_user command to attempt to login as a different, as the salt value is known a password guessing attack will be much more efficient (CVE-2012-5627).

in addition it fixes MDEV-4029 and rpl.rpl_mdev382 test from mariadb-bench, and a problem preventing the feedback plugin from working has been corrected.

The version of MariaDB 5.5 running on the remote host is prior to 5.5.29. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - MyISAM
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Parser
  - Server Partition
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication
  - Stored Procedure

The version of MariaDB 5.3 running on the remote host is prior to 5.3.12. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication

The version of MariaDB 5.2 running on the remote host is prior to 5.2.14. It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Information Schema
  - InnoDB
  - Server
  - Server Locking
  - Server Optimizer
  - Server Privileges
  - Server Replication

A stack-based buffer overflow in MySQL has been fixed that could have caused a Denial of Service or potentially allowed the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5611)

ORACLE reports :

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the replication code

Stack-based buffer overflow

Heap-based buffer overflow

The version of MySQL or MariaDB running on the remote host has a user enumeration vulnerability.  A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to learn the names of valid database users.  This information could be used to mount further attacks.
