Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.33 and earlier and 5.6.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Partition.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0189 advisory.

    MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server that is binary     compatible with MySQL.

    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-2013-5807,     CVE-2013-5891, CVE-2014-0386, CVE-2014-0393, CVE-2014-0401, CVE-2014-0402,     CVE-2014-0412, CVE-2014-0420, CVE-2014-0437, CVE-2013-3839, CVE-2013-5908)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the MariaDB command line client     tool (mysql) processed excessively long version strings. If a user     connected to a malicious MariaDB server via the mysql client, the server     could use this flaw to crash the mysql client or, potentially, execute     arbitrary code as the user running the mysql client. (CVE-2014-0001)

    The CVE-2014-0001 issue was discovered by Garth Mollett of the Red Hat     Security Response Team.

    These updated packages upgrade MariaDB to version 5.5.35. Refer to the     MariaDB Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete list     of changes.

    All MariaDB users should 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 5.5.34. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mariadb-5-5-34-release-notes advisory.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201409-04 (MySQL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A local attacker could possibly gain escalated privileges. A remote       attacker could send a specially crafted SQL query, possibly resulting in       a Denial of Service condition. A remote attacker could entice a user to       connect to specially crafted MySQL server, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

MySQL was updated to version 5.5.37 to address various security issues.

(CVE-2014-0001)

Upstream does not issue any more security advisories for the MySQL 5.0 packages (mysql-5.0.* and related packages). 

The only trusted way to upgrade from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5 is by using MySQL 5.1 as an intermediate step. This is why the mysql51* Software Collection packages are provided. Note that the MySQL 5.1 packages are not supported and are provided only for the purposes of migrating to MySQL 5.5. You should not use the mysql51* packages on any of your production systems.

Specific instructions for this migration are provided by the upstream Deployment Guide.

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

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.71 and earlier, 5.5.33 and earlier, and 5.6.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Locking (CVE-2014-0402).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the 5.5.35 version which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream version 5.5.35. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for further details :

  -     http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-     34.html
  -     http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-     35.html

  -     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan     2014-1972949.html

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.5.35. Therefore, vulnerabilities likely exist in the following components :

  - InnoDB
  - Locking
  - Optimizer
  - Partition
  - Privileges
  - Replication
  - Error Handling

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.6.15. Therefore, vulnerabilities likely exist in the following components :

  - Service Manager
  - GIS
  - Stored Procedure
  - Thread Pooling
  - InnoDB
  - Locking
  - Optimizer
  - Partition
  - Privileges
  - FTS
  - Performance Schema
  - Replication
  - Error Handling

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

MySQL has been updated to 5.1.73 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10, and Ubuntu 13.10 have been updated to MySQL 5.5.35.

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-5-1-73.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-35.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2014-1972949.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.

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is 5.6.x older than 5.6.14.  As such, it is reportedly affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - FTS
  - InnoDB
  - Locking
  - Optimizer
  - Partition
  - Performance Schema
  - Stored Procedure
  - Thread Pooling

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.34.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - InnoDB
  - Locking
  - Partition
  - Optimizer
