Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.31 and earlier and 5.7.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via vectors related to DML.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1601 advisory.

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

    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: rh-mysql56-mysql (5.6.32).

    Security Fix(es):

    * This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws     can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section.
    (CVE-2016-3459, CVE-2016-3477, CVE-2016-3486, CVE-2016-3501, CVE-2016-3521, CVE-2016-3614, CVE-2016-3615,     CVE-2016-5439, CVE-2016-5440)

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.

  - run 'usermod -g mysql mysql' only if mysql user is not     in mysql group. Run 'usermod -s /bin/false/ mysql' only     if mysql user doesn't have '/bin/false' shell set.

  - re-enable mysql profiling

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.7.x prior to 5.7.14 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when selecting full-text index information schema tables for a deleted table.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered during the handling of 'ALTER TABLE' operations on a table with an indexed virtual column.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in a library used by MySQL.  Specifically, the Henry Spencer regex Library (rxspencer) contains an overflow condition that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact that may include a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the DML subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Memcached subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Performance Schema subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the RBR subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Security:Audit subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.6.x prior to 5.6.32 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists in the 'NAME_CONST()' function that is triggered during the handling of certain arguments.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when selecting full-text index information schema tables for a deleted table.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists in a library used by MySQL.  Specifically, the Henry Spencer regex Library (rxspencer) contains an overflow condition that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact that may include a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the DML subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor. 
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the Replication subcomponent. This may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
