Buffer overflow in client/mysql.cc in Oracle MySQL and MariaDB before 5.5.35 allows remote database servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long server version string.

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.

MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database.  The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is 10.0.x earlier than 10.0.21, and is therefore affected by a flaw in the 'Materialized_cursor()' function in the 'sql/sql_cursor.cc' file that is triggered during the handling of temporary tables.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a crash.

CVE-2014-4274

Insecure handling of a temporary file that could lead to abritrary execution of code through the creation of a mysql configuration file pointing to an attacker-controlled plugin_dir.

CVE-2013-2162

Insecure creation of the debian.cnf credential file. Credentials could be stolen by a local user monitoring that file while the package gets installed.

CVE-2014-0001

Buffer overrun in the MySQL client when the server sends a version string that is too big for the allocated buffer.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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.

More information is available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2014-1972949.h tml#AppendixMSQL and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuapr2014-1972952.h tml#AppendixMSQL .

Several issues have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading MySQL to the new upstream version 5.5.37. Please see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes and Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for further details :

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 5.5.37 or 5.6.17, and is thus unpatched for vulnerabilities within the following components:

  - RBR
  - Client
  - Performance Schema
  - Options
  - InnoDB (5.6.16 only)

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.5.x prior to 5.5.36. It is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - ENFED
  - Federated
  - Partition
  - Replication
  - XML

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. (CVE-2014-0386 , CVE-2014-0393 , CVE-2014-0401 , CVE-2014-0402 , CVE-2014-0412 , CVE-2014-0437 , CVE-2013-5908)

(CVE-2014-0386, CVE-2014-0393, CVE-2014-0401, CVE-2014-0402, CVE-2014-0412, CVE-2014-0437, CVE-2013-5908)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the MySQL command line client tool (mysql) processed excessively long version strings. If a user connected to a malicious MySQL 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.

This update also fixes the following bug :

* Prior to this update, MySQL did not check whether a MySQL socket was actually being used by any process before starting the mysqld service.
If a particular mysqld service did not exit cleanly while a socket was being used by a process, this socket was considered to be still in use during the next start-up of this service, which resulted in a failure to start the service up. With this update, if a socket exists but is not used by any process, it is ignored during the mysqld service start-up. (BZ#1058719)

These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.1.73. Refer to the MySQL Release Notes listed in the References section for a complete 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.
