Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.6.30 and earlier and 5.7.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect integrity via vectors related to Server: InnoDB Plugin.

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.

The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is version 5.7.x prior to 5.7.13 and is affected by multiple issues :

 - Multiple flaws exist in InnoDB that are triggered when handling specially crafted 'ALTER TABLE' operations.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to potentially crash the database.
 - Multiple unspecified overflow conditions exist that are triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in a parser structure that is triggered during the validation of stored procedure names.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to potentially cause the database to crash.
 - Multiple unspecified overflow conditions exist in the InnoDB memcached plugin that are triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when invoking Enterprise Encryption functions in multiple threads simultaneously or after creating and dropping them.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to potentially crash the database.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling a 'SELECT ... GROUP BY ... FOR UPDATE' query executed with a Loose Index Scan. This may allow an authenticated attacker to potentially crash the database.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when performing a 'FLUSH TABLES' operation on a table with a discarded tablespace.  This may potentially allow an authenticated attacker to cause the database to crash.
 - A flaw exists in InnoDB that is triggered when performing an 'OPTIMIZE TABLE' operation on a table with a full-text index.  This may allow an authenticated attacker to crash the database.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when performing an 'UPDATE' operation on a generated virtual BLOB column.  This may potentially allow an authenticated attacker to cause the database to crash.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when performing a 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' operation on a table with a generated column.  This may potentially allow an authenticated attacker to cause the database to crash.
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the InnoDB Plugin subcomponent. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to have an impact on integrity. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
