According to the version of the mysql-connector-java package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - MySQL Connector/J is a native Java driver that converts     JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls into the     network protocol used by the MySQL database. It lets     developers working with the Java programming language     easily build programs and applets that interact with     MySQL and connect all corporate data, even in a     heterogeneous environment. MySQL Connector/J is a Type     IV JDBC driver and has a complete JDBC feature set that     supports the capabilities of MySQL.Security     Fix(es):Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component     of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J).

This update for mysql-connector-java to version to 5.1.42 fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-3589: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connector/J could have resulted in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors     accessible data (bnc#1035210)

  - CVE-2017-3523: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connector/J could have lead to takeover of MySQL     Connectors (bnc#1035697)

  - CVE-2017-3586: An unspecified vulnerability in MySQL     Connectors could have lead to unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors     accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a     subset of MySQL Connectors accessible data (bnc#1035211)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:Update update project.

Several issues were discovered in mysql-connector-java that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the data.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.42-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-connector-java packages.
