The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a "your communication with the server will be encrypted" statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - perl-DBD-MySQL: Use-after-free when calling mysql_stmt_error() after mysql_stmt_close() (CVE-2017-10788)

  - Buffer overflow in the DBD::mysql module before 4.037 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause     a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to an error message. (CVE-2016-1246)

  - The DBD::mysql module before 4.039 for Perl, when using server-side prepared statement support, allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via vectors involving an unaligned number of     placeholders in WHERE condition and output fields in SELECT expression. (CVE-2016-1249)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5344-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module, when configured with server-side prepared statement support,     was susceptible to operations that would result in improper memory access. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1249, CVE-2016-1251)

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module was susceptible to an operation that would result in improper     memory access, introduced through incorrect documentation and code examples. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash or potentially cause other, unspecified, impact.
    (CVE-2017-10788)

    It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module processed SSL/TLS settings in a way that did not fully     correlate with the respective documentation for each setting. An attacker could possibly use this to     perform a cleartext-downgrade attack. (CVE-2017-10789)

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 Perl library for communicating with MySQL database, used in the 'mysql' commandline client is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack in SSL configurations and remote crash when connecting to hostile servers.

CVE-2017-10788

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use-after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples.

CVE-2017-10789

The DBD::mysql module through 4.042 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a 'your communication with the server will be encrypted' statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.021-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libdbd-mysql-perl packages.
